Question

According to the graph, drug-induced deaths in America in 2007 rose to nearly 40,000. Homicides reached nearly 20,000. What is the range of these two statistics?

Answer 1

To find range you subtract the greatest number in a set by the least number in set.
The range would be 20,000

Answer 2

Answer : 20,000.

Explanation : Range in statistics means, a value from a set of data which is the difference between the largest and smallest values.

So, to calculate range we can use the formula;

Range = maximum value - minimum value

So, here the maximum value is 40,000 and minimum value is 20,000.

Therefore, Range = 40000-20000 = 20,000.

So, the range of these two statistics will be 20,000.
