Question

which describes how to calculate the range of this data set?
4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12
○ subtract 11 − 5.
○ subtract 12 − 4.
○ add 11 + 5.
○ add 12 + 4.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for range

The range of a data set is calculated as \( \text{Range}=\text{Maximum value}-\text{Minimum value}\).

Step2: Identify maximum and minimum values

In the data set \(4,5,6,8,11,12\), the maximum value is \(12\) and the minimum value is \(4\).

Step3: Calculate the range

Using the formula \( \text{Range}=12 - 4\).

Answer:

Subtract \(12-4\).
