Example Questions
Example Question #1994 : Ged Math
A Science class took an exam. Here are the scores of 9 students:
Find the range.
To find the range of a data set, we will find the smallest and the largest number. Then, we will find the difference of those two numbers.
So, given the set
we can see the smallest number is 76 and the largest number is 93. Now, we will find the difference. We get
Therefore, the range of the data set is 17.
Example Question #12 : Other Data Calculations
A class took a Math exam. Here are the test scores of 10 students.
Find the range.
To find the range of a data set, we will find the smallest and largest number within the set, then we will find the difference of those two numbers.
So, given the data set
we can see the smallest number is 77 and the largest is 99. Now, we will find the difference. We get
Therefore, the range of the data set is 22.
Example Question #181 : Calculations
Calculate the range of the following numbers:
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest numbers.
The highest value is 33.
The lowest value is negative nine.
Subtract both quantities.
The answer is:
Example Question #16 : Other Data Calculations
Identify the range of the following numbers:
The range is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers.
The largest number is:
The smallest number is:
Subtract both quantities.
The answer is:
Example Question #17 : Other Data Calculations
Determine the range of the numbers:
The range is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers.
The largest number is:

The answer is:
Example Question #18 : Other Data Calculations
A class took a Math exam. Here are the test scores of 8 students.
Find the range.
To find the range of a data set, we will find the smallest and largest number within the set, then we will find the difference of those two numbers.
So, given the data set
we can see the smallest number is 76 and the largest is 91. Now, we will find the difference. We get
Therefore, the range of the data set is 15.
Example Question #21 : Other Data Calculations
Solve for the range:
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest numbers.
The highest number is 11.
The smallest number is:
Subtract the quantities of both numbers.
The answer is:
Example Question #22 : Other Data Calculations
Determine the range:
The range is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers.
The largest number is 
The answer is:
Example Question #21 : Other Data Calculations
Determine the range:
The larger the negative number, the smaller the number will be.
The range is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers.
The largest number is:
The smallest number is:
Subtract the numbers.
The answer is:
Example Question #24 : Other Data Calculations
Use the following data set of student test scores to answer the question:
Find the range.
To find the range of a data set, we will first find the smallest and the largest number within the set. Then, we will find the difference of those two numbers.
So, given the set
we can see the smallest number is 81 and the largest number is 95. Now, we will find the difference. We get
Therefore, the range of the data set is 14.
