What??!
The range is 6 - 3 = 3

The range of a set of numbers is calculated by subtracting the smallest number from the largest number in the set. For the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the smallest number is 0 and the largest is 5. Therefore, the range is 5 - 0, which equals 5.
Here is an example. Consider the range of numbers from 4-6. The range is two. The center is 5. Consider a second range of numbers from 3-7. The range is 4. The center is 5. In this case, the ranges are different but the centers are the same. Consider another two ranges of numbers. 3-5 and 101-103. In each case, the range is 2, but the centers are 4 and 102. I hope you can see how range and center are independent measurements.
The range is the greatest in the set minus the smallest. Here, 7-3=4 so the range is 4.
The numbers 3, 5, and 7 together have a range of 4 and a mean of 5.
To find six numbers with a range of 2 and a median of 4, we can start by placing the median 4 in the middle. Since the range is 2, the numbers on either side of the median will be 2 and 6. This leaves us with the numbers 2, 4, 4, 4, 6, and 6. These six numbers have a range of 2 and a median of 4.

The range is 16.
3, 5, and 7. THIS BETTER NOT BE FOR YOUR HOMEWORK!

Range = Maximum - Minimum = 6 - 1 = 5
The range is 6. (6 - 0 = 6)
