In a recent survey, 8 college graduates were each asked for the number of hours they work each week. here is a list of the responses. 50, 52, 36, 46, 41, 36, 56, 65 find the range of the data set.

29

To get this answer, you subtract the largest and smallest values, which are also known as the max and min respectively

Range = Largest Value - Smallest Value

Range = Max - Min

Range = 65 - 36

Range = 29

If it helps, sort the data in order from smallest to largest to get this list of values: {36, 36, 41, 46, 50, 52, 56, 65} so you can see the min and max easier. The range is basically the spread of the data (more or less). The larger the range, the more spread out the data values are.

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
