These are the scores for two randomly selected lacrosse teams. Find
the range of the number of goals scored by each team. Based on the
range, which team has a more consistent number of goals scored?
Lacrosse Team 1: 6 0 4 17 3 12
Lacrosse Team 2: 23 14 22 14 17 2
To find the range, we need to calculate the difference between the maximum and minimum values for each team.
Lacrosse Team 1:
Maximum value = 17
Minimum value = 0
Range = 17 - 0 = 17
Lacrosse Team 2:
Maximum value = 23
Minimum value = 2
Range = 23 - 2 = 21
Based on the range, Lacrosse Team 1 has a more consistent number of goals scored, as their range is smaller.
