Here are the math quiz scores for Student 1 and Student 2.
Student 1: 75, 80, 84, 79, 92, 86, 88, 86, 86, 90
Student 2: 83, 85, 91, 93, 72, 85, 76, 80, 82, 89
Find the range of each student’s math quiz scores. Based on the range, which student performed more consistently on their math quizzes?
To find the range, we subtract the lowest score from the highest score for each student:
Student 1: 92 - 75 = 17
Student 2: 93 - 72 = 21
Based on the range, Student 1 performed more consistently on their math quizzes as their scores had a smaller range.
To find the range of each student's math quiz scores, we need to subtract the lowest score from the highest score for each student.
For Student 1:
Lowest score: 75
Highest score: 92
Range = Highest score - Lowest score = 92 - 75 = 17
For Student 2:
Lowest score: 72
Highest score: 93
Range = Highest score - Lowest score = 93 - 72 = 21
Based on the range, Student 1 had a range of 17 and Student 2 had a range of 21. Therefore, Student 1 performed more consistently on their math quizzes since they had a smaller range.
