Question

Which of the following statements are true?
Statement 1: The range of a data set is used to find the spread of data sets.
Statement 2: Range $=$ maximum value $–$ minimum value
Statement 3: Range $=$ minimum value $–$ maximum value

• A. Both statement 1 and statement 2
• B. Only statement 3
• C. Both statement 1 and statement 3
• D. Only statement 1

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both statement 1 and statement 2

The range of a data set is used to find the spread of data sets.
Range can be calculated by using the formula:
Range $=$ maximum value $–$ minimum value
The formula given in statement $3,$ Range $=$ maximum value $–$ minimum value, is incorrect.
Therefore, both statement $1$ and statement $2$ are true.
