Answer 2

Option B - 24

Explanation:

Given : Scores: 81, 79, 80, 88, 72, 96, 86, 73, 79, 88

To find : The range of the data?

Solution :

Range is defined as the difference between the smallest and the largest element of the data.

First we arrange the data into ascending order:

72,73,79,79,80,81,86,88,88,96

The smallest number is 72

The largest number is 96

The range of the data = largest number - smallest number

The range of the data = 96 - 72

The range of the data = 24

Therefore, Option B is correct.
