Question

A ) 9 miles

B ) 21 miles

C ) 35.8

D ) 18 miles

Answer 1

To calculate the range of a data set, you subtract the smallest value from the largest value.

First, we identify the smallest and largest numbers in the data set:

• The data set is: 31, 35, 49, 32, 45, 29, 33, 28, and 40.
• The smallest value (minimum) is 28.
• The largest value (maximum) is 49.

Now, we calculate the range:

\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 49 - 28 = 21 \]

So, the range of this data set is 21 miles.

The correct answer is:

B) 21 miles
