Question

The heights in inches of 10 high school varsity basketball players are 78, 79,79,72,75,71,74,74,83 and 71. Find the range of this data set

Answer 1

The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. To find it, first order the data from least to greatest. Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.

`71,71,72,74,74,75,78,79,79,83`
`\text{range}=83-71=12`
