Answer 1

Answer: A. $48.50

Explanation:

The given data set: $249.99, $239.99, $236.99, 223.99, 221.99 $219.99, $219.99, $212.49, $207.49, $201.49

• The range of any data set is the difference between the maximum data value and the minimum data value.

From the given data , the maximum price value = $ 249.99

The minimum price value = $201.49

Then,
`\text{Range=Maximum value - Minimum value}`

`\text{Range} =\$249.99-\$201.49\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Range} =\$48.50`

Hence, the range of the prices = $48.50
