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

Lacrosse Team 1 Scores: 6, 0, 4, 17, 3, 12

  • Minimum score = 0
  • Maximum score = 17

Range for Team 1: Range = Maximum - Minimum = 17 - 0 = 17

Lacrosse Team 2 Scores: 23, 14, 22, 14, 17, 22

  • Minimum score = 14
  • Maximum score = 23

Range for Team 2: Range = Maximum - Minimum = 23 - 14 = 9

Now, summarizing:

  • 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, the team with a smaller range has a more consistent number of goals scored.

Therefore, Lacrosse Team 2 has a more consistent number of goals scored.
