Given the weekly ranges of employees as 180, 340, 360, 714, 300, 256, and 180, what is the calculated range?

  1. 534

  2. 600

  3. 720

  4. 800

The correct answer is: 534

To find the range of a set of numbers, you need to calculate the difference between the maximum and minimum values in that set. In this case, the weekly ranges of employees are given as 180, 340, 360, 714, 300, 256, and 180. First, identify the maximum value, which is 714. Then, identify the minimum value, which is 180. The formula for calculating the range is: Range = Maximum value - Minimum value Substituting the values into the formula gives: Range = 714 - 180 = 534 This calculation shows that the range of the given data set is 534, making it the correct choice. Understanding the definition of range as the difference between the highest and lowest numbers is key to solving this type of problem accurately.
