Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for midrange

The midrange is calculated as $\frac{\text{Minimum value}+\text{Maximum value}}{2}$.

Step2: Identify the minimum and maximum values

From the data: Minimum value = $600$, Maximum value = $1100$.

Step3: Calculate the midrange

$$\frac{600 + 1100}{2}=\frac{1700}{2}=850$$

Answer:

A. The midrange is $850$.
