\[ 39,38,52,43,45,40,37,52 \] Find the range of the data set.

To find the range of the data set, you simply subtract the smallest number from the largest number. In your data set, the largest number is 52 and the smallest number is 37. So, the range is: \[ Range = 52 - 37 = 15 \] The range of this data set is 15! To visualize this a bit, think of it like measuring the distance between the highest peak (52) and the lowest valley (37) in this collection of numbers. In terms of data analysis, a smaller range indicates numbers are closely packed together, while a larger range shows the numbers are more spread out!
