Question

Trisha had the following seven distances (in feet) in the triple jump. 29, 30, 28, 32, 28, 31, 27 What was the range of her distances?

Answer 1

The answer is 5

Answer 2

Answer: 5

Explanation:

We know that the range to a data set is the difference between the maximum data value and the minimum data value .

The given data set : 29, 30, 28, 32, 28, 31, 27

Maximum value = 32

Minimum value = 27

Then , the range the given data set would be :-

`\text{Range = Maximum-Minimum}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Range}=32-27=5`

Hence, the range of her distances = 5
