Q3 of 37 Page 295

The largest of 50 measurements is 3.84 kg. If the range is 0.46 kg, find the smallest measurement.

Given xmax = 3.84kg, R = 0.46kg


Range R = xmax - xmin


Substituting the given terms into the above formula, we get


R = xmax - xmin


0.46 = 3.84- xmin


xmin = 3.84 - 0.46 = 3.38kg
