What is the positive difference between the mode and the range of the number of hours worked per week per employee at Marshville Toy Company?
(A) 0 (B) 4 (C) 5 (D) 8 (E) 26
First let us know the terms we are dealing with.. 1) Range:- it is the positive difference between the highest and lowest values of a set. So |50-15|=35 2) Mode :- it is the number that recurs the max. So 40 , as 40 gets repeated the max number of times.

Mode is the number which has occurred the maximum number of times in the set. Since, 40 (hours worked per week) was by maximum number of employees (27) => Mode = 40
Range of a set is the difference between the highest and lowest value of the set. Highest Number of hours worked = 50, Lowest Number of hours worked = 15 => Range = 50-15 = 35
Positive difference between Mode and Range = | Mode - Range | = | 40 - 35 | = |5| = 5
So, Answer will be C Hope it helps!
