Question

Set P = {x, 4, 6, 10, -2, x, 6, 1, x} In set P, if the value of x is 4 greater than the largest numerical value present, what is the range of the set?

Answer 1

The range of the data set is 16

Explanation:

The range of a data set is given by R = Maximum - minimum, within the values of the data set. In the given set P, the highest numerical value is 10, therefore, a greater value in 4 units than the greatest numerical value present is 14, which is represented by x. With this, the maximum value of the data set is 14 and the minimum value of the data set is -2.

Range = Maximum - minimum = 14 - (-2) = 16

Conclusion: The range of the data set is 16
