Answer:


Range =24F- (-9F)=24+9F=33F

So then for the question :"What is the range between the high and low temperatures of the day?" We can answer 33 F

Explanation:

Previous concepts

The range of a set of data is "the difference between the largest and smallest values of this dataset". Using this definition the formula for the range is:


Range =Maximum -Minimum

We assume that the minimum value for the temperature on this case is -9F , so then:


Minimum =-9 F

And we assume that the maximum value occurs at the afternoon, and on this case then:


Max =24 F

Solution to the problem

And then using the definition of range we got:


Range =24F- (-9F)=24+9F=33F

So then for the question :"What is the range between the high and low temperatures of the day?" We can answer 33 F
