The range of the data set is 32. If the largest number in this set is 50, What would be the smallest number? Is it 28?

since you did one just like this already, your guess is correct.
To find the smallest number in the data set, we need to subtract the range from the largest number.
The range is defined as the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in a data set. In this case, the range is given as 32.
So, if the largest number is 50, we can calculate the smallest number by subtracting the range (32) from the largest number (50):
Smallest number = Largest number - Range
Smallest number = 50 - 32
Smallest number = 18
Therefore, the smallest number in the data set would be 18, not 28.
