The weights (in pounds) of cats in an animal shelter are shown below.

9, 8, 14, 7, 8, 10, 12, 11, 15, 18, 17, 10

What is the range of weights of the cats?

1 answer

To find the range of the weights of the cats, you need to subtract the minimum weight from the maximum weight.

First, identify the maximum and minimum weights from the given data:

  • Weights: 9, 8, 14, 7, 8, 10, 12, 11, 15, 18, 17, 10
  • Minimum weight: 7
  • Maximum weight: 18

Now, calculate the range:

Range = Maximum weight - Minimum weight

Range = 18 - 7 = 11

Therefore, the range of weights of the cats is 11 pounds.
