Question
What is the range of this set of data?

Answer 1

To find the range of a set of data, you subtract the smallest value from the largest value.

In your list of thicknesses:

• The smallest value is 0.004 cm.
• The largest value is 0.214 cm.

Now, calculate the range:

\[ \text{Range} = \text{Largest value} - \text{Smallest value} = 0.214 , \text{cm} - 0.004 , \text{cm} = 0.210 , \text{cm} \]

Therefore, the range of this set of data is 0.210 cm.
