QuestionA researcher randomly purchases several different kits of a popular building toy. The following table shows the number of pieces in each kit in the sample. Find the range of the data. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\begin{tabular}{c} Building \\ Toy Pieces \end{tabular}} \\ \hline 166 & 51 \\ \hline 271 & 356 \\ \hline 356 & 51 \\ \hline 110 & 302 \\ \hline 271 & 115 \\ \hline 176 & 498 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

STEP 1

1. The data set consists of the following number of pieces: 166,51,271,356,356,51,110,302,271,115,176,498 166, 51, 271, 356, 356, 51, 110, 302, 271, 115, 176, 498 .
2. The range of a data set is the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

STEP 2

1. Identify the minimum and maximum values in the data set.
2. Calculate the range by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value.

STEP 3

List all the data points:
166,51,271,356,356,51,110,302,271,115,176,498 166, 51, 271, 356, 356, 51, 110, 302, 271, 115, 176, 498

STEP 4

Identify the minimum value in the data set:
Minimum value = 51 51

STEP 5

Identify the maximum value in the data set:
Maximum value = 498 498

STEP 6

Calculate the range by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value:
Range=49851=447 \text{Range} = 498 - 51 = 447
The range of the data is:
447 \boxed{447}
