points

Answer 1

To calculate the range of Kate's scores, you first need to find the highest and lowest scores in her set:

Scores: 4, 6, 6, 9, 3, 8

1. Identify the highest and lowest scores:

   • Highest score = 9
   • Lowest score = 3

2. Calculate the range: \[ \text{Range} = \text{Highest score} - \text{Lowest score} = 9 - 3 = 6 \]

So, the range of Kate's scores is 6 points.
