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.
