Question

The largest value in the collection of data is $7.44$. If the range is $2.26$, then find the smallest value in the collection

• A. $5.18$
• B. $9.70$
• C. $2.26$
• D. $1.13$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $5.18$

Let the data collection is represented by $[X,7.44]$,

where $X$ is the smallest value of data.

Range $=2.26$

$\Rightarrow X=\text{largest value -Range}=7.44-2.26=5.18$
