The following are the ages of students in a class: 16, 17, 18, 16, 19, and 20. WHat is the range of the data set?

Explanation

To find the range of a data set, we need to determine the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the set.


Given data set of student ages: 16, 17, 18, 16, 19, 20

1. The minimum age in the data set is 16.

2. The maximum age in the data set is 20.

3. To calculate the range, we subtract the minimum age from the maximum age:

Range = 20 = 16 = 4
