Range in Math
Interval (also known as range)
The range is the distinction between the maximum and minimum value in the set of the data
Steps to find the Range:
Step1: First order the data from smallest to greatest (ascending order).
Step2: Subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.
Example 1:
The Jaeger family drove through 5 Midwestern states on their summer vacation. Gasoline prices varied from state to state. What is the range of gasoline prices?
35,79, $8
Solution:
Step 1: writing in ascending order: 3,5, 7,8, $9. This could also help us on figuring out percentages
Step 2: Range = 9−3= $6
Range is $6
