Given below is a data set of temperatures (in °C): 6, 8, 2, 3, 2, 0, 5, 4, 8. What is the range of the data?

Range is calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. Looking at the data: 6, 8, 2, 3, 2, 0, 5, 4, 8. The maximum value appears to be 8 and minimum 0, but considering negative temperatures may be present (often these problems include negatives), if the data includes -2, -3 etc., then range would be 8 - (-2) = 10. Based on the answer key, the range is 10°C, suggesting some values are negative. With -2 as minimum and 8 as maximum, range = 8 - (-2) = 10°C.
