Q. Look at this set of 10 numbers:9,7,7,4,4,2,6,7,7,7How would the range change if the number 3 replaced the number 9 in the set?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease(C)no change
Identify Original Range: Step 1: Identify the original range of the set.Original set: 9,7,7,4,4,2,6,7,7,7Arrange in ascending order: 2,4,4,6,7,7,7,7,7,9Original range calculation: 9−2=7
Replace Number 9: Step 2: Replace the number 9 with 3 and find the new range.New set: 3,7,7,4,4,2,6,7,7,7Arrange in ascending order: 2,3,4,4,6,7,7,7,7,7New range calculation: 7−2=5
Compare Original and New Range: Step 3: Compare the original range with the new range.Original range: 7New range: 5Since 5 is less than 7, the range has decreased.
