How to Calculate the Range
Formula
Range = Maximum Value - Minimum Value
The range is the simplest measure of spread. It tells you the total span of the data but is highly sensitive to outliers because it depends only on the two most extreme observations.
Midrange
The midrange is the average of the maximum and minimum: (Max + Min) / 2. It estimates the center of the data using only the extremes.
Example Calculation
A dataset has a maximum of 95 and a minimum of 22. Find the range.
- 01Range = 95 - 22 = 73
- 02Midrange = (95 + 22) / 2 = 58.5
