Answer 1

To find the range of the number of goals scored by each lacrosse team, we will subtract the minimum score from the maximum score for each team.

**Lacrosse Team 1:**
Scores: 6, 0, 4, 17, 3, 12
- Maximum score: 17
- Minimum score: 0
- Range = Maximum - Minimum = 17 - 0 = 17

**Lacrosse Team 2:**
Scores: 23, 14, 22, 14, 17, 22
- Maximum score: 23
- Minimum score: 14
- Range = Maximum - Minimum = 23 - 14 = 9

Now we summarize the findings:
- 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, as a smaller range indicates less variability in scores.
