Q. Look at this set of 8 numbers:8,8,2,3,8,5,8,9How would the range change if the number 2 replaced the number 5 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: 8,8,2,3,8,5,8,9.To find the range, subtract the smallest number from the largest number.Range = 9−2=7.
Modify Set: Step 2: Modify the set by replacing the number 5 with the number 2.Modified set: 8,8,2,3,8,2,8,9.Now, find the new range.Range = 9−2=7.
Compare Ranges: Step 3: Compare the original range with the new range.Original Range = 7, New Range = 7.Since both ranges are equal, the range does not change.
