What is the range?
A) 1020
B) 840
C) 940
D) 580

Answer 1

The range of the provided set of car parking data is calculated by subtracting the smallest number (80) from the largest number (1020), which equals 940.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the range of a set of data, you need to subtract the smallest number from the largest number. In the provided set of car parking data for December, the smallest number of cars parked is 80, and the largest number is 1020. Therefore, the range can be calculated as:

Range = Largest number - Smallest number
Range = 1020 - 80
Range = 940

So, the correct answer is C) 940.
