Aziz wonders whether most people tend to eat the same number of pieces of pizza at a pizza party or whether the amount people eat varies a lot. He surveys 10 people at the end of a pizza party and asks them how many pieces of pizza they ate. His results follow. Find and interpret the range of his data. Number of Pieces of Pizza Eaten: 3, 2, 6, 2, 1, 4, 2, 5, 4, 6(1 point) Responses The range is 5 pieces. This means the difference between the maximum number of pieces eaten and the minimum number of pieces eaten is 5 pieces. The range is 5 pieces. This means the difference between the maximum number of pieces eaten and the minimum number of pieces eaten is 5 pieces. The range is 35 pieces. This means people ate a total of 35 pieces of pizza at the pizza party. The range is 35 pieces. This means people ate a total of 35 pieces of pizza at the pizza party. The range is 3.5 pieces. This means people tended to eat about 3.5 pieces. The range is 3.5 pieces. This means people tended to eat about 3.5 pieces. The range is 3 pieces. This means the difference between the maximum number of pieces eaten and the minimum number of pieces eaten is 3 pieces.

To find the range of the data, we need to identify the maximum and minimum values of the number of pieces of pizza eaten:

Data Set: 3, 2, 6, 2, 1, 4, 2, 5, 4, 6

Maximum Value: 6
Minimum Value: 1

Now, we can calculate the range:

\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 6 - 1 = 5 \]

So, the range is 5 pieces.

Interpretation: This means that the difference between the maximum number of pieces eaten (6) and the minimum number of pieces eaten (1) is 5 pieces. This indicates that there is some variability in the amount of pizza eaten by the surveyed people at the party.
