Answer 1

Answer: The range is 4.9.

Step-by-step explanation: The range of a set of data is the difference between the largest and smallest values. In this stem-and-leaf plot, the smallest value is 0.3, and the largest value is 4.9.

Therefore, the range is 4.9 - 0.3 = 4.6 which is 4.9 (approx)

So the answer is A. 4.9
