Question

Five numbers have a range of 14. Four of the numbers are 20, 22, 31 and 25. Work out the two different possible values for the fifth number.

Answer 1

Answer:

17

34

Step-by-step explanation:

Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values of a set of observations

Range = highest value - lowest value

the missing number can either by the highest value or the lowest value. this is because none of the numbers given when subtracted from each other would give a value of 14

let x = missing number

14 = x - 20

x = 20 + 14 = 34

or

14 = 31 - x

x = 31 - 14

x = 17
