Q. Look at this set of 1010 numbers:\newline64,55,34,63,98,33,45,77,92,2264, 55, 34, 63, 98, 33, 45, 77, 92, 22\newlineHow would the range change if the number 6666 replaced the number 2222 in the set?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)increase\newline(B)decrease\newline(C)no change
  1. Identify original set: Step 11: Identify the original set of numbers and calculate the original range.\newlineOriginal set: 64,55,34,63,98,33,45,77,92,2264, 55, 34, 63, 98, 33, 45, 77, 92, 22\newlineMaximum number: 9898\newlineMinimum number: 2222\newlineOriginal range calculation: 9822=7698 - 22 = 76
  2. Replace with 6666: Step 22: Replace the number 2222 with 6666 in the set and calculate the new range.\newlineNew set: 64,55,34,63,98,33,45,77,92,6664, 55, 34, 63, 98, 33, 45, 77, 92, 66\newlineMaximum number: 9898\newlineMinimum number: 3333\newlineNew range calculation: 9833=6598 - 33 = 65
  3. Compare original vs new range: Step 33: Compare the original range with the new range to determine the change.\newlineOriginal range: 7676\newlineNew range: 6565\newlineSince 6565 is less than 7676, the range decreases.
