Look at the golf scores for the five players in the table.

Player	1	2	3	4	5
Score	80	91	103	79	78

Which of these is the range of the golf scores?

$\begin{array}{l}A)10\\ B)25\\ C)35\\ D)40\end{array}$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The correct option is $B) 25.$ 

Step 1. The range of a set.

$Range=largestvalue=Smallestvalue$

Step 2. Use given information and determine the range.

Highest score is $103$ 

Lowest score is $78$

Step 3. The range can be calculated as:

$\begin{array}{l}r=103-78\\ r=25\end{array}$

Hence, the range of golf score can be calculated as $25$.
