On the last day of school,Adam asked each of his classmates how many days of school they missed for the entire school year.  He created a stem-and-leaf plot with the information.

0 | 0 0 2 4 5 6 8

1 | 0 0 1 2

2 | 3

4 | 7

What is the range of the number of days missed by Adam's classmates?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 47

\dpi{100} 0

\dpi{100} 8

\dpi{100} 7

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 47

Explanation:

To find the range of a set of data, simply subtract the smallest total from the largest total.  The left side of a stem-and-leaf plot represents the ten's digit, and the right side represents the one's digit. The largest value here is 47.  The smallest value is 0. 

\dpi{100} 47-0=47
