Question

The ages (in years) of some teachers of a school are given in the box.
26, 32, 38, 41, 26, 31, 35, 33, 26, 37
What is the range of the ages of the teachers?

• A. 15 years
• B. 26 years
• C. 41 years
• D. 32 years

Answer 1

The correct option is A 15 years

The given data is 26, 32, 38, 41, 26, 31, 35, 33, 26, 37.
Arranging in descending order,
41, 38, 37, 35, 33, 32, 31, 26, 26, 26
Here, the maximum value = 41
Minimum value = 26
Range = Maximum value - Minimum value
= 41 - 26
= 15
$\therefore$ Range of the given data is 15 years.
