Question

range of a given observation is 17 and maximum value is 38 then what is minimum value​

Answer 1

It is given that the range of an observation is 17 and maximum value in the observation is 38.


We know, range is the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value.

Now,
Let the minimum value of the observation be a,


Therefore,
= > Range = Maximum value - minimum value

= > 17 = 38 - a

= > a = 38 - 17

= > a = 21


Therefore the minimum value of the observation is 21.

Answer 2

Answer:

Range= Maximum value - minimum value

17=38-a

a=38-17

a=21
