Question

Ed went surfing 8 mornings this year. He logged the number of good waves each morning:
32 waves 32 waves 28 waves 32 waves 35 waves 35 waves 34 waves 34 waves
What was the range of the numbers of good waves?

waves

Answer 1

To find the range of the numbers of good waves Ed logged, we first need to identify the maximum and minimum values from the list of wave counts.

The logged waves are:
- 32 waves
- 32 waves
- 28 waves
- 32 waves
- 35 waves
- 35 waves
- 34 waves
- 34 waves

Now, let's determine the maximum and minimum:

- The maximum value is **35 waves**.
- The minimum value is **28 waves**.

The range is calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 35 - 28 = 7
\]

Therefore, the range of the numbers of good waves is **7 waves**.
