Chapter 11.1, Problem 17E

To determine

To find the Range.

Answer to Problem 17E

Golfer A has higher range than Golfer B.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Golfer A Scores: $83,84,91,90,98,88,95,89,87,95$ and Golfer B Scores: $89,93,92,88,89,87,95,94,91,92$

Formula Used: Range = Highest Score − Lowest Score

Calculation:

• Golfer A :

Golfer A Scores: $83,84,91,90,98,88,95,89,87,95$

So, In Ascending Order

Golfer A Scores: $83,84,87,88,89,90,91,95,95,98$

Now,

Range = Highest Score − Lowest Score

So,

Range = $98-83$

Hence,

Range = $15$

• Golfer B :

Golfer B Scores: $89,93,92,88,89,87,95,94,91,92$

So, In Ascending Order

Golfer B Scores: $87,88,89,89,91,92,92,93,94,95$

Now,

Range = Highest Score − Lowest Score

So,

Range = $95-87$

Hence,

Range = $8$

So,

Golfer A has higher range than Golfer B.
