    4 Two students get the following results for six mathematics tests (out of 100):
    Anna: 60, 90, 100, 90, 90, 100
    Zane: 60, 70, 60, 70, 70, 100
    (a) What is the range of scores for each student?
    (b) Does this mean they both had equally good results?
    (c) Which statistic would be a better measure of their acheivement? Why?
