Question

The frequency table shows the scores from rolling a dice.

Score Frequency
1 0
2 3
3 6
4 3
5 0
6 0

Work out the range.

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4

Answer 1

To calculate the range of dice roll scores given in a frequency table, subtract the lowest actual score (2) from the highest actual score (4), resulting in a range of 2.Option b is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to work out the range of scores from rolling a dice, given the frequency of each possible score. The range is defined as the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of data. To find the range, we need to identify the highest and lowest scores that were actually rolled, and then subtract the lowest score from the highest score.

According to the frequency table provided:

• Score 1 had a frequency of 0 (it was not rolled).
• Score 5 had a frequency of 0 (it was not rolled).
• Score 6 had a frequency of 0 (it was not rolled).

The lowest score that was actually rolled was a 2, and the highest score that was actually rolled was a 4.

Therefore, the range is 4 - 2 = 2.

The correct answer to the question is b) 2.
