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?
Range = highest value - lowest value
oh ok, thank you
To find the range of the numbers of employees in these departments, you need to calculate the difference between the largest value and the smallest value in the list.
First, arrange the numbers in ascending order:
3, 6, 14, 17, 23, 26, 26, 30, 54
The smallest value is 3, and the largest value is 54.
Now, subtract the smallest value from the largest value:
54 - 3 = 51
Therefore, the range of the numbers of employees in these departments is 51.
