The weights of the starting lineup of a football team are as follows (in pounds)

Question

217 235 212 253 233 171 184 301 256 297 247 226 237 241 195 204 197 214 166 309 281 303 309 299
what’s the range?

Answer 1

To find the range of the weights, you need to subtract the smallest weight from the largest weight.

First, let's identify the smallest and largest weights from the given data:

• Smallest weight: 166 pounds
• Largest weight: 309 pounds

Now, we calculate the range:

\[ \text{Range} = \text{Largest weight} - \text{Smallest weight} = 309 - 166 = 143 \]

Therefore, the range of the weights is 143 pounds.
