Rohan describes the dataset 16, 40, 39, 45, 20 by calculating the spread. Which equation gives the value of the spread

Answer 1

The value of the spread can be calculated by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value in the dataset.

Spread = Largest value - Smallest value

In this case, Rohan would use the equation:

Spread = 45 - 16

So, the spread of the dataset 16, 40, 39, 45, 20 is 29.
