Front

What does it mean for a number to be a solution to an equation?

Back

A number is a solution to an equation if, when substituted for the variable, it makes the equation true.

Front

How do you determine the range of a histogram?

Back

The range of a histogram is determined by the difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set.
