The list shows the numbers of employees in the nine departments at a company.
14, 23, 6, 54, 30, 26, 17, 3, 26
What is the range of the numbers of employees in these departments?
A.23
B.51
C.26
D.18
To find the range of the numbers of employees, you need to subtract the smallest number from the largest number in the list.
Given the numbers of employees in the departments:
14, 23, 6, 54, 30, 26, 17, 3, 26
The smallest number is 3, and the largest number is 54.
Therefore, the range is 54 - 3 = 51.
So, the correct answer is B. 51.
To find the range, you need to subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the list. In this case, the smallest value is 3 (the number of employees in one department) and the largest value is 54 (the number of employees in another department).
Range = Largest value - Smallest value
Range = 54 - 3
Range = 51
Therefore, the range of the numbers of employees in these departments is 51.
So, the correct answer is B. 51.
51 is the answer
Process:
Range = highest score - lowest = 54 - 3 = 51
