Math Problem Statement

Find the range of the given data set: 60, 20, 40, 45, 12, 34, 30, 70, 42, 69, 32, 8, 18, 50.

Solution

The question asks you to find the range of the given data set:

The data set is:
60, 20, 40, 45, 12, 34, 30, 70, 42, 69, 32, 8, 18, 50

The range is calculated as:
Range=Maximum valueMinimum value\text{Range} = \text{Maximum value} - \text{Minimum value}

  1. The maximum value in the data set is 70.
  2. The minimum value in the data set is 8.

Range=708=62\text{Range} = 70 - 8 = 62

Thus, the range is 62.

  3. What is the mode, if any, of this data set?
  4. What are the steps to find the interquartile range (IQR)?
  5. How does the range help describe data variability?

Tip: Always double-check the maximum and minimum values to ensure the accuracy of the range calculation!
