Question

What is the range of this data set? {36.6, 39.8, 33.3, 34.8, 38.5, 39.6, 36.7, 36.9, 37.5, 32.2, 33.1, 33.3} Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answer 1

Answer 7.6

explanation: K12

Answer 2

We have the next data set:

{36.6, 39.8, 33.3, 34.8, 38.5, 39.6, 36.7, 36.9, 37.5, 32.2, 33.1, 33.3}

And we must find the range.

To find the range we need to know that

So, we must take the largest and the smallest value and then subtract them.

To make it easier we can organize the data:

32.2, 33.1, 33.3, 33.3, 34.8, 36.6, 36.7, 36.9, 37.5, 38.5, 39.6, 39.8

Now we can see that:

- the largest value is 39.8

- the smallest value is 32.2

Finally, we must subtract them

`39.8-32.2=7.6`

So, the range is 7.6

ANSWER:

The range of this data set is 7.6
