Question

in a data set of numbers, the difference between the largest value and the smallest value is known as:
mode
range
mean
median

Explanation:

• Mode is the most frequently occurring value in a data set.
• Range is defined as the difference between the largest (maximum) and smallest (minimum) values in a data set.
• Mean is the average of all values, calculated as the sum of values divided by the number of values.
• Median is the middle value when the data set is ordered from least to greatest (or vice versa).

Since the question asks for the term for the difference between the largest and smallest values, the correct term is Range.

Answer:

B. Range (assuming the second option is labeled B; if the original options had labels like A, B, C, D, adjust the label accordingly. Based on the options shown: the option with "Range" is the correct one, so if we consider the options as:

A. Mode

B. Range

C. Mean

D. Median

Then the answer is B. Range)
