Randall collected sea shells everyday on his vacation, as shown in the chart. On the seventh day of his vacation, he collected  only 2 sea shells. How will this affect the range of the number of shells he collected?

                                                                

                                                             A. The range will decrease by 3

                                                             B. The range will not change

                                                             C. The range will increase by 2

                                                             D. The range will increase by 14

The range for the first 6 days is 29-16=13   

If the seventh day has a 'score' of 2 then the new range is 29-2=27

27-13=14

The range is the highest number subtracted by the lowest number. The range of the data in the table is 12, the range with the seventh day is 26. (D) The range will increase by 14.
