The following are the temperatures in °C for the first 10 days in January: -5, 0.7, -1.9, 3.5, -9.2, 7.1, -0.6 ,-8.7 ,2.2 ,0.6 Calculate the range.

Answer 1

The range is -16.3

Explanation:

The range is the highest number minus the lowest number and if we take a look at this data -5, 0.7, -1.9, 3.5, -9.2, 7.1, -0.6 ,-8.7 ,2.2 ,0.6, we can see that the lowest value is -9.2 and the highest value is 7.1, so we have to minus the lower value from the higher value

-9.2 - 7.1 = -16.3

The range is -16.3
