Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Median of the data and mode are 7 each and the number of observations is odd.
since 7 is the mode, 7 should appear at least two times, and as median is 7, it must be the middle one.
6, 7, 7, can be taken as observations.
`:.` Range `=7-6=1`
Hence, the correct option is (a).
