Q. Look at this set of 6 numbers:8,9,6,3,6,4How would the range change if the number 1 replaced one of the 6's in the set?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease(C)no change
Identify original range: Step 1: Identify the original range of the set 8,9,6,3,6,4.To find the range, subtract the smallest number from the largest number in the set.Original smallest number: 3, Original largest number: 9.Range = 9−3=6
Replace with 1: Step 2: Replace one of the 6s with 1 and find the new range of the set 8,9,1,3,6,4.New smallest number: 1, New largest number remains 9.New Range =9−1=8
Compare ranges: Step 3: Compare the original range with the new range.Original Range = 6, New Range = 8.Since 8 is greater than 6, the range increases
