Question 2 • Pre-Algebra - MA3119 B-CR

Which set has the greatest range?

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

Explanation

The range of a set is its greatest value minus its least value. For choice D, the greatest value is 44 and the least is 6, so its range is 44 − 6 = 38. The other ranges are 36 for A, 34 for B, and 22 for C, so choice D, {12, 6, 24, 20, 44, 15, 29}, has the greatest range.
