Question 1 • *WHS Pre-Algebra - MA3119 B-CR

Which set has the greatest range?

Answer
A
{10, 14, 8, 19, 22, 13, 44}
B
{19, 16, 50, 18, 29, 23, 37}
C
{11, 9, 31, 29, 15, 17, 20, 24}
D
{12, 6, 24, 20, 44, 15, 29}

Explanation

The range is the greatest value minus the least value. In set D, the greatest value is 44 and the least is 6, so its range is 44 − 6 = 38. This is greater than the ranges of A (36), B (34), and C (22), so set D has the greatest range.
