Q. Tanvi has the following data:4,5,4,mIf the range is 7, which number could m be?Choices:(A)11(B)3
Understand the problem: Step 1: Understand the problem and the data given.Tanvi has numbers 4, 5, 4, and m. The range of these numbers is 7. The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the set.
Calculate possible values: Step 2: Calculate the possible values for m using the range.Range=Maximum value−Minimum value=7.If m is the maximum value, then m−4=7 (since the minimum of the other numbers is 4).m=4+7=11.If m is the minimum value, then 5−m=7 (since the maximum of the other numbers is 5).m=5−7=−2, which is not an option given.
Check choices: Step 3: Check the choices given to see which fits.Choices are (A) 11 and (B) 3.From Step 2, m could be 11 to satisfy the range of 7.
