Q. Stanley has the following data:3,1,v,5,1,5If the range is 4, which number could v be?Choices:(A)6(B)1
Arrange Data in Ascending Order: Arrange the data set excluding v in ascending order: 1,1,3,5,5.
Calculate Range Excluding v: Calculate the range without v: 5−1=4.
Determine Possible Values for v: Since the range of the data set including v must also be 4, v must be a value that does not increase or decrease the current range.
Check v=6: Check if v=6 affects the range: New data set would be 1,1,3,5,5,6. New range = 6−1=5, which is not equal to 4.
Check v=1: Check if v=1 affects the range: New data set would be 1,1,1,3,5,5. New range = 5−1=4, which is equal to 4.
