Question

The visitor counts for three years at Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego, California, are as follows:

Fiscal Year 2003: 960,182
Fiscal Year 2002: 1,045,510
Fiscal Year 2001: 1,055,026

What is the range of the visitor count for the given three years?
A.94,844 people
B.3,060,718 people
C.1,045,510 people
D.1,020,239 people

Answer 1

The range is the largest value minus the smallest so we order the numbers from largest to smallest

960,182 1,045,510 1,055,026

Take the largest (1,055,026) and subtract the smallest (960,182)

1,055,026 - 960,182 = 94,844
