To find the range of the number of goals scored by each team, we need to calculate the difference between the maximum and minimum scores for each team.

Lacrosse Team 1 Scores:

  • Scores: 6, 0, 4, 17, 3, 12
  • Maximum Score: 17
  • Minimum Score: 0
  • Range for Team 1: 17 - 0 = 17

Lacrosse Team 2 Scores:

  • Scores: 23, 14, 22, 14, 17, 22
  • Maximum Score: 23
  • Minimum Score: 14
  • Range for Team 2: 23 - 14 = 9

Now, summarizing 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.
