The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set.
The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. To find the range, first order the data from least to greatest. Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.

anonymous · Answer

The largest value is 55, the smallest is 8, and their difference is 47, so the range is 47.

0. 8 9 9
1. 1 3 3 5 7 7 8 9
2. 0 1 3 6 6 8
3. 2 2 4 6 7
4. 0 1 3 4 4 6 8 9
5. 0 0 1 3 5 5

range = highest - lowest

                 55 - 8 = a range of 47 years
