Question

Daisy (5,9,2,6,14,3)

Milkweed (10,8,22,12,12,9)
Coneflower (3,7,2,10,16,7)
A biology class took a field trip. The students counted the number of daisy, milkweed, and coneflower plants in six different locations. The data sets are shown above. What is the overall range in the number of plants for all three types of plants?

Answer 1

The overall range is 20

Explanation:

Given

The above dataset

Required

The overall range

Range is calculated as

`Range = Highest - Lowest`

The highest of the dataset is 22, and it can be found in Milkweed.

The lowest of the dataset is 2, and it can be found in Daisy

So, the range is:

`Range = 22 - 2`

`Range = 20`
