58, 61, 71, 77, 91, 100, 105, 102, 95, 82, 66, 57

If a value of 80.4° is added to the data, how does the range change?

The range decreases to 46°.
The range stays 48°.
The range stays 49°.
The range increases to 50°.

Answer: B. The range stays 48

Explanation:

The largest answer is 105 and the smallest answer is 57. The range is the range of numbers from smallest to largest so to find the range you subtract the largest and the smallest

Range = 105 - 57

Range = 48

The range will not change because if you put 80.4 in there, it's not the largest or smallest so it does not affect the range.

So answer is B. The range stays 48

Answer:

The Range Stays 48°.

Step-by-step explanation:\

Since the value 80.4° is not the highest and not the lowest value on the list, it does not change the range.

Hope this helps!
