Answer 1

Overall, the range of Aziz's data is 5 pieces. This shows that there is variability in the number of pieces of pizza people ate at the party, ranging from 1 to 6 pieces. This suggests that people do not all tend to eat the same number of pieces of pizza at a pizza party, and some may eat more or less than others.
