The correct answer is 77.
current priority level - we all want this one
If you selected (A), maybe you were thinking of one of the three classic m-words that are a part of the realm of statistics.
If you selected (B), were you particularly thinking of the word “mean”?
If you selected (C), we imagine that you remembered that range is determined by subtracting the largest value and the smallest value. What you can now keep in mind is that something the test writers might do is not put the numbers in order.
The largest number is indeed 109, but the smallest number is the 32 that was listed fourth. Subtracting those two numbers, we come to the correct answer here of 77.
