Q. Look at this set of 88 numbers:\newline89,58,78,58,58,42,12,9889, 58, 78, 58, 58, 42, 12, 98\newlineHow would the range change if the number 7171 replaced the number 1212 in the set?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)increase\newline(B)decrease\newline(C)no change
  1. Identify Range: Identify the original range of the set:\newlineNumbers: 89,58,78,58,58,42,12,9889, 58, 78, 58, 58, 42, 12, 98\newlineMaximum number: 9898\newlineMinimum number: 1212\newlineOriginal range calculation: 9812=8698 - 12 = 86
  2. Replace Number and Calculate: Replace the number 1212 with 7171 and find the new range:\newlineNew set of numbers: 8989, 5858, 7878, 5858, 5858, 4242, 7171, 9898\newlineNew maximum number: 9898\newlineNew minimum number: 4242\newlineNew range calculation: 717122
  3. Compare Original and New Range: Compare the original range with the new range:\newlineOriginal range: 8686\newlineNew range: 5656\newlineSince 5656 is less than 8686, the range decreases.
