To find the range of the scores for each lacrosse team, we need to subtract the lowest score from the highest score for each team.

Lacrosse Team 1 Scores:

  • Scores: 6, 0, 4, 17, 3, 12
  • Highest score: 17
  • Lowest score: 0
  • Range = Highest score - Lowest score = 17 - 0 = 17

Lacrosse Team 2 Scores:

  • Scores: 23, 14, 22, 14, 17, 22
  • Highest score: 23
  • Lowest score: 14
  • Range = Highest score - Lowest score = 23 - 14 = 9

Now, we can fill in the information:

  • The range of the number of goals scored by Lacrosse Team 1 is 17.
  • The range of the number of goals scored by Lacrosse Team 2 is 9.
  • Based on the range, Lacrosse Team 2 has a more consistent number of goals scored (a smaller range indicates less variability).

So, the final answers are:

  • Team 1 Range: 17
  • Team 2 Range: 9
  • More consistent team: Team 2
