Express the difference in the means as a multiple of their ranges.

Hence, the difference in mean is represented as:

                         12=2.5×5

where 5 is the range and 12 is the difference in the mean.

Shade plant Height (in.)

7    11     11      12      9      12      8     10

Minimum value=7

and Maximum value=12

Range=Maximum value-Minimum value

This means that Range is: 12-7=5

Also, the mean is calculated as follows:

Sun Plant heights (in.)

21    24    19    19     22    23    24    24

Minimum value=19

and Maximum value=24

Range=Maximum value-Minimum value

This means that Range is: 24-19=5

Also, the mean is calculated as follows:

Difference in mean is: 22-10=12

Also, the range of both the set is:  5

Hence, the difference in mean could be expressed as:

       12=5×n

Hence, n=2.5
