A dataset consists of nnn distinct positive numbers with mean xˉ\bar{x}xˉ. Removing the largest element, xmax⁡x_{\max}xmax​, reduces the mean of the remaining n−1n-1n−1 elements to xˉ−d\bar{x} - dxˉ−d. Removing instead the smallest element, xmin⁡x_{\min}xmin​, increases the mean of the remaining n−1n-1n−1 elements to xˉ+c\bar{x} + cxˉ+c. Find the range of the original dataset (xmax⁡−xmin⁡x_{\max} - x_{\min}xmax​−xmin​) in terms of n,c, and dn, c, \text{ and } dn,c, and d.
