<br />The problem is asking for the range of the temperatures given in the table. From the table, these temperatures are 4.2°C, 4.6°C, 5.3°C, 8.4°C and 9.6°C. <br /><br />To find the range, we subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature. In Symbolic form, this equates to:<br /><br />\[ \text{Range} = \text{Highest value} - \text{Lowest value} \]<br /><br />From the given data, the highest temperature is 9.6°C and the lowest temperature is 4.2°C. <br /><br />Therefore, the Range is:<br /><br />\[ <br />\text{Range}= 9.6 - 4.2 = 5.4°C <br />\]<br /><br />So the difference in temperatures or the range of the temperatures given in the table is **5.4°C**.
