Use the following data set to answer this question:
14, 17, 13, 15, 14, 19, 2, 18
What is the range?
*
4
32
17
21
The range of the given data set is 17.
To find the range of a data set, subtract the minimum value from the maximum value.
In this case, the minimum value is 2 and the maximum value is 19.
Range = Maximum value - Minimum value
Range = 19 - 2
Range = 17
Therefore, the range of the given data set is 17.
To find the range, which is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set, follow these steps:
1. Sort the data set in ascending order: 2, 13, 14, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19.
2. Determine the highest value, which is 19.
3. Determine the lowest value, which is 2.
4. Calculate the range by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value: 19 - 2 = 17.
Therefore, the range of the data set 14, 17, 13, 15, 14, 19, 2, 18 is 17.
