To find the range of a data set, you subtract the smallest value from the largest value.
-
Identify the smallest and largest numbers in the data set:
- Smallest: 10
- Largest: 28
-
Calculate the range: \[ \text{Range} = \text{Largest} - \text{Smallest} = 28 - 10 = 18 \]
So, the range of the data set {10, 18, 21, 28, 12, 20} is 18.
