Yes, the range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of data.
In this case, the highest number of employees is 54 and the lowest number is 14, so:
Range = highest value - lowest value
Range = 54 - 14
Range = 40
Therefore, the range of the numbers of employees in these departments is 40, which corresponds to option D.
In this case, the highest number of employees is 54 and the lowest number is 14, so:
Range = highest value - lowest value
Range = 54 - 14
Range = 40
Therefore, the range of the numbers of employees in these departments is 40, which corresponds to option D.
