These are the scores for two randomly selected lacrosse teams. Find the range of the number of goals scored by each team. Based on the range, which team has a more consistent number of goals scored?

Question

Lacrosse Team 1: 6,0,4,17,3,12
Lacrosse Team 2: 23,14,22,14,17,22

Answer 1

For Lacrosse Team 1, the range of goals scored is 17-0 = 17.

For Lacrosse Team 2, the range of goals scored is 23-14 = 9.

Therefore, Lacrosse Team 2 has a more consistent number of goals scored since their range is smaller.
