Range


Problem:  Cheryl took 7 math tests in one marking period. What is the range of her test scores?
 89,  73,  84,  91,  87,  77,  94
Solution:  Ordering the test scores from least to greatest, we get:
 73,  77,  84,  87,  89,  91,  94
 highest - lowest = 94 - 73 = 21
Answer:  The range of these test scores is 21 points.
