It looks like your question is referencing a dataset that wasn’t included in your message! However, I can explain how to find the range with examples so you can apply it yourself.


What is Range?

Range = Maximum value − Minimum value

It measures the spread of your data.


Examples

Example 1 — Simple integers: Data: 3, 7, 2, 9, 5

  • Max = 9, Min = 2
  • Range = 9 − 2 = 7

Example 2 — Decimals: Data: 1.4, 3.8, 0.6, 5.2

  • Max = 5.2, Min = 0.6
  • Range = 5.2 − 0.6 = 4.6

Example 3 — Negative numbers: Data: −4, −1, 0, 6, 10

  • Max = 10, Min = −4
  • Range = 10 − (−4) = 14

When can range NOT be calculated? (Option B)

Range cannot be calculated when:

  • The data set is empty (no values given)
  • The data is categorical (e.g., colors, names — not numerical)
  • Values are missing or undefined

Please share your dataset and I’ll calculate the exact range for you — no rounding!
