degrees Fahrenheit; this is the difference in degrees Fahrenheit between
degrees, the minimum temperature, and
degrees, the maximum temperature.
The range is 9 degrees Fahrenheit; this is the difference in degrees Fahrenheit between 58 degrees, the minimum temperature, and 67 degrees, the maximum temperature.
To find the range of a dataset, you need to subtract the minimum value from the maximum value.
In this case, the minimum temperature is 58 degrees Fahrenheit, and the maximum temperature is 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
So, the range is 67 - 58 = 9 degrees Fahrenheit.
The range represents the overall spread or variation in the dataset. In this case, it means that the temperatures during this 10-day period ranged from a minimum of 58 degrees Fahrenheit to a maximum of 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
