Question

Number of Siblings Number of 6th Graders 0 3 1 12 2 5 3 2 4 0 5 1 Kaylen wants to know how many siblings 6th graders have. She surveys the 6th graders on her soccer team. Her results are given in the table. What is the range of her data? (1 point) Responses 5 siblings 5 siblings 12 siblings 12 siblings 26 siblings 26 siblings 2 siblings

Answer 1

To find the range of Kaylen's data regarding the number of siblings, we need to determine the maximum and minimum values in the dataset provided.

From the table you've given:

• The maximum number of siblings reported is 5.
• The minimum number of siblings reported is 0.

The range is calculated by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value:

\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} \]

So in this case:

\[ \text{Range} = 5 - 0 = 5 \]

Therefore, the range of her data is 5 siblings.
