if the range w of the 6 numbers 4 , 314 , 710 and x is 12 , what is the difference between the greatest possible value of x and least possible value of x ?  Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 0
B) 2
C) 12
D) 13
E) 15

Rationale: the range w of a set is the difference between the largest and smallest elements of a set . without x , the difference between the largest and smallest elements of a set is 14 - 3 = 11 < 12 , which means that in order 12 to be the range of the set x must be either the smallest element so that 14 - x = 12 - - - > x = 2 or x must the largest element so that x - 3 = 12 - - > x = 15 . the the difference between the greatest possible value of x and least possible value of x is 15 - 2 = 13 . answer : d .
Answer: D
