C)66 and 17.
D)69 and 17.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the range, we need to subtract the smallest value (3) from the largest value (69):
69 - 3 = 66
Therefore, the range is 66.

To find the median, we need to first put the values in order from least to greatest:
3, 6, 7, 17, 17, 23, 51, 69

The median is the middle number. In this case, we have an even number of values, so we need to find the average of the two middle values:
(17 + 23) / 2 = 20

Therefore, the median is 20.

The correct answer is C because it gives both the correct range and median.
