The largest value minus the smallest value. In statistics, a distribution is the set of all possible values for terms that represent defined events.

There are two major types of statistical distributions. The first type has a discrete random variable. This means that every term has a precise, isolated numerical value. An example of a distribution with a discrete random variable is the set of results for a test taken by a class in school. The second major type of distribution has a continuous random variable. In this situation, a term can acquire any value within an unbroken interval or span. Such a distribution is called a probability density function. This is the sort of function that might, for example, be used by a computer in an attempt to forecast the path of a weather system.

How do you find out the modal range?

if data is in the form of frequency distribution then the modal range is the interval containing the highest frequency of observations


How do you find the interquartile range when given the mean and standard deviation?

In general you cannot. You will need to know more about the distribution of the variable - you cannot assume that the distribution is uniform or Normal.


Is the uniform probability distribution's standard deviation proportional to the distribution's range?

no


Is the range in distribution ever smaller than standard deviation in a distribution?

No.


The range of a distribution is always a whole number?

The range of a distribution is the difference between the largest number in the range and the smaller number. ?æThe number will always be positive, but may not always be whole.

When A distribution has the five-number summary shown below. What is the range of this distribution 21 32 49 67 75?

The five-number summary consists of the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values of a distribution. In this case, the minimum is 21 and the maximum is 75. The range of the distribution is calculated by subtracting the minimum from the maximum: 75 - 21 = 54. Therefore, the range of this distribution is 54.

A grouped frequency distribution is used when the range of data values is relatively small. True or false?

False. When the range is large you would use a grouped frequency distribution.


How do you find the semi-interquartile range with only the mean and standard deviation?

In general, you cannot. If the distribution can be assumed to be Gaussian [Normal] then you could use z-scores.
