Explanation

To find the range of a set of data, we subtract the smallest value from the largest value.Given the data: k+2, k-3, k+4, k-2, k, k-5, k+3, k-1, and k+6The smallest value in the data set is k-5, and the largest value is k+6.Range = Largest value - Smallest value = (k+6) - (k-5) = k + 6 - k + 5 = 11Therefore, the range of the given data set is 11.
