Question

The five numbers summary for a data set is shown below. What is the range of the data set? 3, 7, 11, 14, 16

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set.

So, in order to find the range, you first order the data from least to greatest. Which it is already.

3, 7, 11, 14, 16

Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.

16 - 3 = 13
