Michael wants to know how many pairs of shoes 6th graders own. He surveys the 6th graders at his summer camp. His results are given in the table. What is the range of the data shown in the table?
7 answers
1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 7
The range is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in the list. In this case, the range is 7 - 1 = 6.
Therefore, the range of the data shown in the table is 6.

The range is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in the list. In this case, the range is 7 - 1 = 6.
Therefore, the range of the data shown in the table is 6.
To find the range of a dataset, we need to identify the highest value and the lowest value in the dataset and then calculate the difference between them.
In this case, the lowest value is 1 (from the number of 4 students each having 1 pair of shoes), and the highest value is 7 (from the number of students, 3, who have 6 pairs of shoes).
Therefore, the range of the data shown in the table is 7 - 1 = 6.
