Find the range SHOW YOUR WORK!

Answer 1

Range is easy to find.

You first have to list the following numbers (which is called the data set) from least to greatest.

But it's already listed from least to greatest.

A range works this way..., you have to subtract the highest value from the list and the lowest value from the list.

Range: Highest value - Lowest value = answer

Range: 88 - 1 = 87

So the range is 87.

Answer 2

Range is basically the difference between the highest and lowest number in the number sequence. And so the highest number in this sequense is 88 while the lowest number is 1. All you must do is subtract 1 from 88 and your final answer will be 87.

88-1=87
