Find the range of this dataset.

The range of this dataset is blank

Answer 1

22.35 inches

To find the range of a dataset, you subtract the smallest value from the largest value. In this case, the largest value is 26.51 inches and the smallest value is 4.16 inches.

26.51 - 4.16 = 22.35

Therefore, the range of this dataset is 22.35 inches.
