Question

Find the range of the sample data set.
16,465 17,342 19,835 15,147 15,898 18, 324
1)3,177
2)17,491.0
3)17,169
4)4,688.0

Answer 1

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

First, let's identify the smallest and largest values from the provided data set:

Data set:
- 16,465
- 17,342
- 19,835
- 15,147
- 15,898
- 18,324

Smallest value = 15,147
Largest value = 19,835

Now, calculate the range:

Range = Largest value - Smallest value
Range = 19,835 - 15,147
Range = 4,688

So, the range of the sample data set is **4,688.0**.

The correct answer is:
4) 4,688.0
