Example Question #12 : How To Find Range

Use the following data set to answer the question:

Find the range.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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 2 and the largest number is 9.  Now, we will find the difference.  To find the difference, we will simply subtract the two numbers. So, 

 

Therefore, the range of the data set is 7.

Example Question #13 : How To Find Range

Use the following data set to answer the question:

Find the range.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the range of a data set, we will find the smallest and the largest number within the set, then we will find the difference.

So, given the set

we can see the smallest number is 1 and the largest number is 10.  Now, we will find the difference.  To find the difference, we will subtract the two numbers.  So, we get

 

Therefore, the range of the data set is 9.

Example Question #14 : How To Find Range

Therefore, the range of the data set is 12.

Example Question #15 : How To Find Range

Find the range of the following data set:

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the range of the following data set:

To find the range, first put the numbers in increasing order

Next, find the difference between our first and last terms

Thus, our range is 87 because there is a "distance" of 87 between our biggest and smallest terms.
