We are asked to find the range of the data set.
The depths(in inches) at which 10 artifacts are found are listed.
20.7 |
24.8 |
30.5 |
26.2 |
36.0 |

The range of a data set is the difference between the maximum and minimum data entries in the set.
To find the range, the data must be quantitative.
Range = (Maximum data entry) - (Minimum data entry)
Range = 38.5 - 20.7 = 17.8
Hence the range of the data set is .
