A group of women seen at a diabetes clinic weighed 140, 125, 210, 245, 202, 199, 173, and 197 pounds. What is the range?

Answer :

Answer: The range is 120 pounds.

Range:

  • measure of the spread or dispersion of data in a set of values
  • calculated as the difference between the largest and the smallest values in a dataset

The maximum value is 245 and the minimum is 125. We can calculate the range as the following:

245 - 125 = 120 pounds.


Therefore, the range is 120 pounds.
