Number of Pairs of Shoes Number of 6th Graders
2 4
3 3
4 1
5 1
6 3
7 7
8 2
10 1
Michael wants to know how many pairs of shoes 6th graders own. He surveys the 6th graders at his summer camp. His results are given in the table. What is the range of the data shown in the table?

Answer 1

To find the range, we need to first list out all the different values in the table from least to greatest.

The different values of number of pairs of shoes are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
The different values of number of 6th graders are: 4, 3, 1, 3, 7, 2, 1

To find the range, we subtract the smallest value from the largest value.

The smallest value is 1 (from the number of pairs of shoes)
The largest value is 10 (from the number of pairs of shoes)

Range = 10 - 1 = 9

Therefore, the range of the data shown in the table is 9.
