Question

What is the range?
2 ,9 ,7 ,9 ,1 ,6

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

When finding the range, you have to subtract the smallest value from the biggest value,

2, 9, 7, 9, 1, 6

⇒ 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 9

If we take a look at the set of numbers, we can see that 1 is the smallest value and 9 is the biggest,

Now that know that we need to subtract,

9 - 1

= 8

Therefore the range of this set of numbers is 8.

Answer 2

• 8

Explanation:

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a data set.

• Highest value = 9
• Lowest value = 1
• Range = 9 - 1 = 8
