Recall that we find the range of a set of data by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value. In this case, the smallest value is 
and the largest value is 
. Thus, our range is 
.

There are 
girls and 
boys running a race. What is the probability that only boys will finish in the top three places?
There are
Probability is a fraction between 
and 
. The numerator is the total number of ways to get what you want, or a subset of the sample space. The denominator is the total ways, or complete sample space.
The number of ways only boys would finsih in the top three places: 
The number of ways all contestants can finish the race: 
So the probability of only boys finishing in the top three places is given by the fraction 
when simplified.
