A softball team scored 8 runs, 5 runs, 13 runs, 8 runs, and 11 runs in its last five games. What is the range of the number of runs scored in the five games

Respuesta :

The range is the difference between the highest number and the lowest number.

The lowest number is 5, the highest number is 13.


The range is 13 - 5 = 8 runs.

The correct answer for the range is: "5 to 13 runs" with a median of 8  and here is why:

The range of a set of numbers is what values could have or could be based on the lowest and highest values. The range is not the same as the average or the median. 5 runs was the least amount of runs that happened during one game and 13 was the most in another.

The average is calculated by adding all of the numbers added together and then divides by how many numbers that you added together.

The median is found by removing the lowest number and then the highest number. You repeat this process until you are left with only one number.

There are other things to find as well, but I think you understand now

Range: 5-13 ; 8

Average: 9

Median: 8

Also here is the definition from Dictionary.com on what range is:

range   rānj/Submit

noun

ex: "the cost is thought to be in the range of $1-5 million a day"
