Math Problem Statement
What is the range of the data set below?
94, 76, 74, 72, 83, 89, 81, 97
Solution
To find the range of a data set, subtract the smallest value from the largest value:
-
Identify the smallest and largest values in the set:
- Smallest value = 72
- Largest value = 97
-
Calculate the range:
So, the range of the data set is 25.
Would you like to know more details about how the range is used in data analysis, or any other questions?
Here are 5 related questions to explore:
- What is the median of the given data set?
- How do you calculate the mean (average) of this data set?
- What is the mode of a data set and does this set have one?
- How would you find the standard deviation of this data set?
- Can you explain how outliers can affect the range?
Tip: The range gives a quick idea of the spread of values, but it can be sensitive to extreme values (outliers).
