Question

Calculate the range for the following two sets of data: Set 1: 60, 40, 30, 50, 60, 40, 70. Set 2: 50, 49, 49, 51, 48, 50, 53.

To find the range of a data set, subtract the minimum value from the maximum value.

Find the maximum and minimum values for Set 1.
Set 1: $60, 40, 30, 50, 60, 40, 70$
Maximum value for Set 1 is 70.
Minimum value for Set 1 is 30.
Calculate the range for Set 1.
$\text{Range (Set 1)} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 70 - 30 = 40$
Find the maximum and minimum values for Set 2.
Set 2: $50, 49, 49, 51, 48, 50, 53$
Maximum value for Set 2 is 53.
Minimum value for Set 2 is 48.
Calculate the range for Set 2.
$\text{Range (Set 2)} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 53 - 48 = 5$
The ranges are:
- Range for Set 1: $\boxed{\text{40}}$
- Range for Set 2: $\boxed{\text{5}}$
