Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
Range before subtraction by 2 = Highest observation – Lowest observation
= 7 – (–5)
= 7 + 5
= 12
Data after subtract by 2
= 2 – 2, –5 – 2, 4 – 2, 3 – 2, 7 – 2, 6 – 2, i.e. 0, –7, 2, 1, 5, 4
Range = Highest observation – Lowest observation
= 5 – (–7)
= 5 + 7
= 12
So, the range is same.
