What is this asking?
We need to find the difference between the biggest and smallest numbers in a set.
Watch out!
Don't forget to order the numbers first, if they aren't already ordered!
Also, remember range isn't about how many numbers there are, it's about how spread out they are.
STEP 2
1. Order the data
2. Find the biggest and smallest numbers
3. Calculate the range
STEP 3
Luckily for us, the numbers are already in order from smallest to biggest!
Sometimes they're mixed up, so it's **super important** to put them in order ourselves first.
But this time, it's already done for us.

STEP 4
Now, let's find the **biggest** and **smallest** numbers in our ordered set.
The smallest number is and the biggest number is .
Easy peasy!
STEP 5
The **range** is just the difference between the **biggest** and **smallest** numbers.
So, we subtract the smallest number from the biggest number:
STEP 6
