I'm also stuck on this problem........
The lowest temperature ever recorded in the state of Oregon was -54 F (in Seneca, on February 10, 1933). The state’s record high temperature occurred in Pendleton on August 10, 1898, when it reached 119 F. What is the historical temperature range in the state of Oregon?

119-(-54)= 173.

-54 to 119.
That's the range right. You have the absolute LOW and the absolute HIGH.
On any other given day, the temperature was therefore between the two numbers!!
A range of 119+54=173 degrees

Find the difference between the two numbers, 119 - -54 =
173. SO, the range is from -54 to 119, 173 degrees F.
It may help you to remember that to subtract any numbers change the operation to addtion and change the value sign of the second number to its opposite.

Range: -54 < y < 119
Where y represents the temperature range from Feb 10, 1933 to Aug 10, 1898.
( x would represent the date, if there was a function..)

In statistics, the range is defined by the highest number minus the lowest number. That will give you your answer.
