Explanation

To find the modal height and range of the given set of heights, we first need to determine the mode and range.Mode: The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the set. In this case, the height 1.35 appears 4 times, which is more than any other height. Therefore, the mode is 1.35.Range: The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the set. The maximum height is 1.50, and the minimum height is 1.20. Therefore, the range is 1.50 - 1.20 = 0.30.Now, we can calculate m + 2r:m + 2r = 1.35 + 2(0.30)      = 1.35 + 0.60      = 1.95Therefore, m + 2r is equal to 1.95.
