Q. Charlie has the following data:18,15,19,z,20,15If the range is 5, which number could z be?Choices:(A)18(B)13
Arrange Data Ascending: Arrange the given data excluding z in ascending order: 15,15,18,19,20. Calculate the current range without z: 20−15=5.
Calculate Current Range: Since the range with z included must also be 5, z must be a value that does not increase or decrease the current range.Check if z=18 fits: The range remains 20−15=5.
Check z=18: Check if z=13 fits: The new range would be 20−13=7, which is not equal to 5.
