Question

For a data set, the value of the range is 20. If the smallest value of this data set is 7, find the largest value.

• A. 27
• B. 17
• C. 20
• D. 37

Answer 1

The correct option is A 27

We know that,

Range = L - S

L = Largest value, S = Smallest value

From the given information we can write,

20 = L - 7
$\to$ L = 20 + 7
= 27

The largest value is 27.
