1. The problem asks whether the range of the data set $100, 92, 100, 88, 79, 97$ is 100 because that score occurred the most. 2. The range of a data set is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values, not the most frequent value. 3. First, identify the maximum and minimum values: $$\text{max} = 100, \quad \text{min} = 79$$ 4. Calculate the range: $$\text{range} = \text{max} - \text{min} = 100 - 79 = 21$$ 5. The most frequent value (mode) is 100, but this does not affect the range. 6. Therefore, Marissa's statement that the range is 100 because it occurred the most is FALSE. **Final answer:** False
