In a recent survey, 8 college graduates were each asked for the number of hours they work each week. Here is a list of the responses. \[ 34,36,52,49,47,34,40,51 \] Find the range of the data set.

To find the range of the dataset, you need to subtract the smallest value from the largest value. In the responses you provided, the largest number is 52 hours and the smallest number is 34 hours. So, the range is calculated as follows: \[ \text{Range} = 52 - 34 = 18 \] Thus, the range of the data set is 18 hours! Now you can better understand the variability in the work hours of these college graduates!
