Question 1204017
To find the correct answer, we can start by comparing the differences between each guess and the actual number of candies. Let's calculate these differences:



1. The first guess (315) is off by 26 candies.
- If we add 26 to this guess, we get 341.
- If we subtract 26 from this guess, we get 289.



2. The second guess (350) is off by 14 candies.
- If we add 14 to this guess, we get 364.
- If we subtract 14 from this guess, we get 336.



3. The third guess (327) is close but off by 9 candies.
- If we add 9 to this guess, we get 336.
- If we subtract 9 from this guess, we get 318.



Now let's analyze the possible range of values for the number of candies based on these differences:



- The highest possible value for the number of candies would be when the first guess (315) is off by adding 26 candies, resulting in a total of 341 candies in the jar.
- The lowest possible value for the number of candies would be when the second guess (350) is off by subtracting 14 candies, resulting in a total of 336 candies in the jar.
- The closest possible value for the number of candies would be when the third guess (327) is off by adding 9 candies or subtracting 9 candies, resulting in a range of [318, 336] candies in the jar.



Considering all the given information, the number of candies in the jar can be estimated to be within the range of 318 to 341.
