Question

the range of a set of numbers is 9
the maximum is 1
what is the minimum?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for range

Range = Maximum - Minimum.

Step2: Rearrange the formula to find the minimum

Minimum = Maximum - Range.
Substitute the given values: Maximum = 1, Range = 9.
Minimum = \(1 - 9\)
Minimum = \(-8\)
