Answer:
Option B - 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Scores: 81, 79, 80, 88, 72, 96, 86, 73, 79, 88
To find : The range of the data?
Solution :
Range is defined as the difference between the smallest and the largest element of the data.
First we arrange the data into ascending order:
72,73,79,79,80,81,86,88,88,96
The smallest number is 72
The largest number is 96
The range of the data = largest number - smallest number
The range of the data = 96 - 72
The range of the data = 24
Therefore, Option B is correct.
