To calculate the range of the points scored in Jerry's team's 8 games, we need to find the difference between the highest and lowest scores.

The scores are: 59, 66, 56, 63, 42, 55, 62, and 51.

  1. Identify the highest score:

    • The highest score is 66.

  2. Identify the lowest score:

    • The lowest score is 42.

  3. Calculate the range: \[ \text{Range} = \text{Highest score} - \text{Lowest score} = 66 - 42 = 24 \]

Therefore, the range in the number of points scored for each game is 24.

The correct response is C 24.
