Question

Use the dots for one and two. what is the difference between the ranges

a. 20 points
b. 5 points
c. 10 points
d. 35 points

Answer 1

a. 20 points

Explanation:

Range = Largest given value - Smallest given value.

Identifying the range of test 1

Looking at the dot plot the lowest test grade appears to be 50 while the highest is 90.

So range of test 1 = 90 - 50 = 40

Identifying the range of test 2

Looking at the plot the lowest test grade appears to be 40 while the highest appears to be 100

So range = 100 - 40 = 60

Identifying the differences between the ranges

Test 1 range : 40

Test 2 range : 60

Difference between the two : 60 - 40 = 20 points
