Answer 1

First player

Range = 0.081

Mean = 0.283

Second player

range = 0.174

mean = 0.284

Explanation:

Mathematically, range is highest value - lowest value while mean refers to the average ( sum of values/count of values)

For first player

Range = (0.319 - 0.238) = 0.081

Mean = (0.238 + 0.289 + 0.263 + 0.302 + 0.285 + 0.319)/6 = 0.283

For the second player;

Range = 0.348 - 0.174 = 0.174

mean = (0.259 + 0.348 + 0.334 + 0.278 + 0.311 + 0.174)/6 = 1.704/6 = 0.284
