Question

How do we calculate the "range" of the measurements?

A.subtract the smallest value from the largest value


B.subtract the largest value from the smallest value


C.add up all the measurements


D.add up all the measurements and divide by the number of measurements

Answer 1

The answer is A! You subtract the minimum from the maximum

Answer 2

The correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

In a given set of data, the range is the difference between the highest value in the data and the lowest value in the same data. It can be determined by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value as shown below.

Consider the data below,

45,34,22,34,45,46,55,23,56,56,46,55,56,66,37,55,56,64,53,52,56,46,70

The range of the data above is

Largest value (70) - smallest value (22)

70 - 22 = 48
