Mathis · Answer 1

Answer: It will increase 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Range simply means the smallest number subtracted from the biggest number. Initially, the scores were 70, 72 and 68 then making the range 68-72 = 4. Now a new score is added which is 100 and it is obviously the biggest number now. So we subtract 68 from 100 that is; 100-68 = 32. This new range is 8 times more than the former. That is, 32/4 = 8.
