Exemple Résolu
Find the range of the values 15, 28, 7, and 42.
- 01Minimum = 7
- 02Maximum = 42
- 03Range = 42 - 7 = 35
- 04Midrange = (7 + 42) / 2 = 24.5
Questions Fréquentes
What is the range in statistics?
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a data set. It provides a quick measure of how spread out the data is.
What are the limitations of the range?
The range only considers the two extreme values and ignores the distribution of all other data points. It is sensitive to outliers. Standard deviation is usually a more informative measure of spread.
