The data collected had a range of 40. Six of the seven data values are shown below what is the value of the missing value? the data collected is the numbers 30 17 20 14 34 and 17 again

Answer 1

First, put the data in order low to high:

  14  17  17  20  30  34      (that's six of the seven values)

 

"data collected had a range of 40"

   What is the meaning of range?

   Since the missing value cannot be negative, we know what it is.
