Question

1. the table below shows the scoring patterns of 4 different basketball players over the last 5 games. the table gives the number of points each player scored in each game. which player has the greatest range in points given in the table, and what is that range, in points?

e. player a: 16
g. player b: 21
h. player b: 25
j. player c: 23
k. player d: 19

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate range for Player A

Range = Max - Min. For Player A: Max = 19, Min = 3. So range = \(19 - 3=16\)

Step2: Calculate range for Player B

For Player B: Max = 34, Min = 13. So range = \(34 - 13 = 21\)

Step3: Calculate range for Player C

For Player C: Max = 35, Min = 12. So range = \(35 - 12=23\)

Step4: Calculate range for Player D

For Player D: Max = 27, Min = 8. So range = \(27 - 8 = 19\)

Answer:

H. Player C: 23
