Find the range of the given data set.

Question

51, 13, 98, 42, 76, 28

Answer 1

The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set.

To find the largest value, we can arrange the data set in order from smallest to largest:

13, 28, 42, 51, 76, 98

The largest value is 98.

To find the smallest value, we can again arrange the data set in order from smallest to largest:

13, 28, 42, 51, 76, 98

The smallest value is 13.

Therefore, the range of the data set is:

98 - 13 = 85

So the range is 85.
