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.

Is the uniform probability distribution's standard deviation proportional to the distribution's range?
no
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.
Can the inter quartile range be zero?
Yes, if you have a distribution with very little spread.
Which distribution is used to find probabilities about the number of independent events occurring in a fixed time period with a known average rate?
The Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution.
How do find the midrange of a set of numbers?
find the mean in a set of frequency distribution
How can we find Range in case of frequency distribution?
Range = Maximum value - Minimum value
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.
Is the range of outcomes infinite in normal distribution?
1
What does geographic distribution mean?
the way something is spread out or arranged over a geographic area
How to find Median of probability distribution?
how do i find the median of a continuous probability distribution
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.
Normal distribution is finite?
The domain is infinite but the range is finite.
What measure tells something about the distribution of a data set?
range
