D

2499 - 100 = 2399

To determine the range in miles based on the given survey data, we need to find the difference between the highest and lowest values in the miles flown range.

The given survey data provides the following miles flown ranges and corresponding number of passengers:

Miles Flown Number of Passengers 100 - 499 16 500 - 899 41 900 - 1,299 81 1,300 - 1,699 11 1,700 - 2,099 99 2,100 - 2,499 96

To find the lowest value in the miles flown range, we look at the first category, which is 100 - 499. The lowest value in this range is 100.

To find the highest value in the miles flown range, we look at the last category, which is 2,100 - 2,499. The highest value in this range is 2,499.

Now we can calculate the range by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value:

Range = Highest Value - Lowest Value Range = 2,499 - 100 Range = 2,399

Therefore, the range in miles based on the given survey data is 2,399 miles.

Among the answer choices provided: A. 1,100 B. 1,999 C. 2,499 D. 2,399 E. None of these answers

The correct answer is D. 2,399, which matches the calculated range.
