Question

The heights of 11 plants, in inches, are listed.

14, 15, 16, 16, 17, 17, 17, 18, 18, 19, 22
If another plant with a height of 14 inches is added to the data, how would the range be impacted?
O The range would decrease to 8 inches.
O The range would stay the same value of 8 inches.
O The range would increase to 17 inches.
The range would stay the same value of 18 inches.

Answer 1

The range would stay the same with a value of 8 inches. Because the lowest value is 14, anything lower would increase the range since the range is the Maximum-minimum, in this case 22-14. Since 22-14 is 8, and since the plant added was the same height as the minimum, there wouldn’t be a change.

hope this helped! :D
