By how much does the outlier in the following data set increase the range of the data set? {38, 43, 62, 42, 85, 57, 72, 42, 39, 53, 50, 256}

218

Explanation:

Range = biggest number - smallest number: 256-38=218

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
