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
