The problem states that the given dataset is missing a number. We are given the range of the dataset as 25.5. We need to find two possible values of the missing number. The given data set is $9, 0, -2, 4.5, 8, 7.5, -1.5, 13.5, 19, -1, 2$.

1. Problem Description

The problem states that the given dataset is missing a number. We are given the range of the dataset as 25.

5. We need to find two possible values of the missing number.

The given data set is 9,0,2,4.5,8,7.5,1.5,13.5,19,1,29, 0, -2, 4.5, 8, 7.5, -1.5, 13.5, 19, -1, 2.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's sort the given data set in ascending order:
2,1.5,1,0,2,4.5,7.5,8,9,13.5,19-2, -1.5, -1, 0, 2, 4.5, 7.5, 8, 9, 13.5, 19
The range of a dataset is the difference between the largest and smallest values.
Range = Largest Value - Smallest Value
The current largest value is 19 and the smallest is -

2. So the current range is $19 - (-2) = 21$. Since the actual range is 25.5, we need to either decrease the smallest value or increase the largest value.

Case 1: We increase the largest value. Let the missing number be xx. If xx is the new largest number, then the range becomes x(2)=25.5x - (-2) = 25.5.
x+2=25.5x + 2 = 25.5
x=25.52x = 25.5 - 2
x=23.5x = 23.5
Case 2: We decrease the smallest value. Let the missing number be yy. If yy is the new smallest number, then the range becomes 19y=25.519 - y = 25.5.
y=25.519-y = 25.5 - 19
y=6.5-y = 6.5
y=6.5y = -6.5
Therefore, the two possible missing numbers are 23.5 and -6.

3. Final Answer

The two possible missing numbers are 23.5 and -6.
