Question

Mr. V recorded his overall performance in his weight-training goal. What is the range for this situation?

a) {100,125,150,175}
b) {6,5,4,3}
c) {3,4,5,6}
d) {3,4,5,6,100,125,150,175}

Answer 1

a) {100,125,150,175}. The range is calculated by subtracting the smallest value from the largest; thus, if Mr. V recorded weights of 100, 125, 150, and 175, the range is 75 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option a) {100,125,150,175}. The range in statistics refers to the difference between the highest and the lowest values in a set of data.

To calculate the range, you would subtract the smallest number from the largest number. In this case, if Mr. V recorded his weight-lifting performances as 100, 125, 150, and 175 pounds, then to find the range we would subtract the smallest weight lifted (100 pounds) from the largest weight lifted (175 pounds), resulting in a range of 75 pounds.

However, to answer this question accurately, we would need the context of what the options represent, as the term 'range' has a specific meaning in mathematics but the question does not provide enough information to determine if the student is asking for the statistical range or simply the set of data Mr. V recorded.

Assuming the student is asking for the statistical range, none of the options provided directly gives the range value of 75 pounds that would be calculated from the data provided.
