Find the range of the following set of numbers 0.4, −0.4, 0.3, 0.47, −0.53, 0.2 and −0.2
A.
1.03
B.
0.07
C.
0.03
D.
1.0
Correct Answer: 1.0
Explanation
0.4, −0.4, 0.3, 0.47, −0.53, 0.2, −0.2
Range is the difference between the highest and lowest value
i.e Highest − Lowest
− 0.53, −0.4, −0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.47
0.47 is the highest
− 0.53 is the lowest
∴ = 0.47 − (− 0.53)
∴0.47 + 0.53
= 1.0
0.4, −0.4, 0.3, 0.47, −0.53, 0.2, −0.2
Range is the difference between the highest and lowest value
i.e Highest − Lowest
− 0.53, −0.4, −0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.47
0.47 is the highest
− 0.53 is the lowest
∴ = 0.47 − (− 0.53)
∴0.47 + 0.53
= 1.0
