The list shows the numbers of employees in the seven departments at a company.
14, 23, 54, 30, 26, 17, 26
What is the range of the numbers of employees in these departments?
Responses
A 6868
B 99
C 1212
D 40
54 - 14 = 40
Hmmm - that range thing again
Yes, the range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of data.
In this case, the highest number of employees is 54 and the lowest number is 14, so:
Range = highest value - lowest value
Range = 54 - 14
Range = 40
Therefore, the range of the numbers of employees in these departments is 40, which corresponds to option D.
To find the range of the numbers of employees in these departments, you need to subtract the smallest number from the largest number in the list.
First, you need to identify the smallest number in the list. In this case, the smallest number is 14.
Next, you need to identify the largest number in the list. In this case, the largest number is 54.
Now, you can calculate the range by subtracting the smallest number from the largest number:
54 - 14 = 40
So, the range of the numbers of employees in these departments is 40.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 40.
