Solution:

Given:

Mean of sample 1:

[tex]\begin{gathered} mean=\frac{8+5+4+8}{4} \\ =\frac{25}{4} \\ =6.25 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Mean of sample 2:

[tex]\begin{gathered} mean=\frac{8+6+3+9}{4} \\ =\frac{26}{4} \\ =6.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Mean of sample 3:

[tex]\begin{gathered} mean=\frac{6+8+6+7}{4} \\ =\frac{27}{4} \\ =6.75 \end{gathered}[/tex]

From the sample means, the range is;

[tex]\begin{gathered} Range=highest-lowest \\ Range=6.75-6.25 \\ Range=0.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the range of sample means is 0.5
