To find the range of a data set, we need to find the difference between the largest and smallest values in the set.
In this case, the smallest weight is 6 pounds and the largest weight is 51 pounds.
Range = Largest value - Smallest value
Range = 51 - 6
Range = 45
Therefore, the range of the data set is 45 pounds.
A veterinarian treated 7 dogs this morning. The list below gives the weights (in pounds) of each dog.
6, 46, 21, 9, 21, 51, 43
