Question

the depths (in inches) at which 10 artifacts are found are listed. complete parts (a) and (b) below. 33.3 39.2 30.7 34.4 46.8 25.3 37.6 22.5 29.9 26.8 (a) find the range of the data set. range = 24.3 (round to the nearest tenth as needed.) (b) change 46.8 to 56.9 and find the range of the new data set. range = (round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Part (b)

Step1: Identify new data set

Original data: 33.3, 39.2, 30.7, 34.4, 56.9, 25.3, 37.6, 22.5, 29.9, 26.8 (replaced 46.8 with 56.9)

Step2: Find maximum and minimum

Max = 56.9, Min = 22.5

Step3: Calculate range

Range = Max - Min = \( 56.9 - 22.5 = 34.4 \)

Answer:

34.4
