The range of a data set is the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

For Madlyn's family, the maximum age is 44 and the minimum age is 9. Therefore, the range of Madlyn's family is 44 - 9 = 35.

For Parker's family, the maximum age is 52 (found by combining the highest stem value, 5, with the highest leaf value, 2) and the minimum age is 14 (found by combining the lowest stem value, 1, with the lowest leaf value, 4). Therefore, the range of Parker's family is 52 - 14 = 38.

The difference in the ranges of the two data sets is 38 - 35 = 3.
