Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset.
In this case, the highest temperature is 67°F and the lowest is 58°F. So, the range is 67 - 58 = 9.
The range of 9°F means that the temperatures in Salinas over the 10-day period varied by a maximum of 9 degrees. This indicates that there was not a very wide range of temperatures during this particular time period, with the highest and lowest temperatures being relatively close together.
Here are the high temperatures (in Fahrenheit) for a 10-day period in Salinas, California, in December: 58, 59, 61, 62, 62, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67 Find the range and explain what the value means for this dataset.
