This statement is true because yes this could have happened.

_,_,_ (10),_,_,_ - this shows what the data would look like with a median of 10. 10 is not part of the data set.

If the range was nine, the distance from the beginning to the end would have to be 9. . This means there could have been an employee who went on eight more business trips then another because it is smaller than the difference of 9.
