What is the range of the data set $7, 3, 9, 12, 3, 8, 14$ ?

$11$

$8$

$12$

$14$

Show answer and explanation

Answer: A

The range is the greatest value minus the least value. The greatest value is $14$ and the least is $3$ , so the range is $14 - 3 = 11$ .

Choice B is the median (and the mean) of the data, not the range.
