Find the range of the given data set. -4, -3, -1, -1, 0, 1 -5 -3 3 5

OpenStudy (igreen):

Range is the highest number subtracted by the lowest number. So what's the highest number here? @braves12

OpenStudy (braves12):

-4

OpenStudy (igreen):

No..that is actually the lowest..because it is the 'greatest' negative.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Which number isn't a negative?

OpenStudy (braves12):

0 and 1

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes..and since 1 is greater than 0, that is our greatest number. You already found the smallest number, -4. Now we subtract: 1 - (-4) or we can just add 1 + 4, and what is that?

OpenStudy (braves12):

5

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, so that's our answer.

OpenStudy (braves12):

not -5

OpenStudy (igreen):

Nope
