Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midrange is calculated by adding the highest value in the set to the lowest value, then dividing by 2. In this case, the highest value is 9 and the lowest is -4. So, the midrange = (9 + (-4)) / 2 = 5 / 2 = 2.5. However, none of the provided options match this calculation, indicating a possible mistake in the question or the provided options. Based on the closest match principle, option C is mistakenly chosen due to an error in the response. The correct calculation shows the midrange should be 2.5, which is not listed.
