Question

Find the range of the following data set. 1 1/4, 5/8, 3/4, 1/2, 1 1/2, 1 3/4

A. 1
B. 1 1/8
C. 1 1/4

Answer 1

0.75-0.5=0.25

Explanation:

Subtract the minimum data value from the maximum data value to find the data range. In this case, the data range is 0.25 or 1/4.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values in the data set.

largest = 1
`(3)/(4)` and smallest =
`(1)/(2)`

range = 1
`(3)/(4)` -
`(1)/(2)` = 1
`(1)/(4)` → C
