Question

what is the range of the data shown in the stem and leaf plot? 136 40 96 56

Explanation:

Step1: Recall range formula

Range = Maximum - Minimum

Step2: Identify maximum and minimum from stem - and - leaf

(Assume we can identify them from the plot, though not shown here). Let's say minimum is \(a\) and maximum is \(b\)

Step3: Calculate range

Range = \(b - a\)

Answer:

(Without seeing the actual stem - and - leaf plot values, we can't give a specific number. But if we assume we had the values and calculated), the answer would be the resulting value from the subtraction. For example, if minimum is 40 and maximum is 96, the answer is 56.
