Question

what is the range of the data?
experimenter 1
trial # | length (cm)
1 | 8.4
2 | 8.2
3 | 8.5
average | 8.37
the range is 0.3 cm.
the range is 0.13 cm.
the range is 0.37 cm.
the range is 25.1 cm.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall range formula

Range is calculated as \( \text{Range} = \text{Maximum value} - \text{Minimum value} \).

Step2: Identify max and min

From the data (8.4, 8.2, 8.5), maximum value is 8.5, minimum is 8.2.

Step3: Calculate range

\( 8.5 - 8.2 = 0.3 \) cm.

Answer:

The range is 0.3 cm.
