Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Data

The data provided is the number of books read by nine students last summer:
\[ 6, 6, 9, 6, 9, 3, 1, 1, 6 \]

Step 2: Find the Maximum and Minimum Values
  • The maximum value in the data is \( 9 \).
  • The minimum value in the data is \( 1 \).
Step 3: Calculate the Range

The range is calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum values:
\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 9 - 1 = 8 \]

Final Answer

The range is \(\boxed{8}\).
