To find the range of the number of goals scored by each team, we use the formula for range, which is:
\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum Score} - \text{Minimum Score} \]
For Lacrosse Team 1: Scores: 6, 0, 4, 17, 3, 12
- Maximum Score = 17
- Minimum Score = 0
\[ \text{Range for Team 1} = 17 - 0 = 17 \]
For Lacrosse Team 2: Scores: 23, 14, 22, 14, 17, 22
- Maximum Score = 23
- Minimum Score = 14
\[ \text{Range for Team 2} = 23 - 14 = 9 \]
Summary of Ranges:
- The range for Lacrosse Team 1 is 17.
- The range for Lacrosse Team 2 is 9.
Based on the range, Lacrosse Team 2 has a more consistent number of goals scored, as a smaller range indicates less variability in scores.
