1 answer

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.
