You take the largest number in the data and subtract it from the smallest number in the data and you will get the range.
Range subtracts the lowest value from the value in your data set. If you have an outlier, meaning a number either obviously outside the data, your range will be incorrect because one of the values will not represent the average pattern of the data. For example: if your data values include 1,2,3,4,and 17, 17 would be the outlier. The range would be 16 which is not truly representative of the rest of the data.
what is commonly used to show discrete data
The range is where you subtract the highest to the lowest number in data.
When finding the range of a set of data, you take the greatest number and subtract the lowest number from it. That's your range! EX: 2,4,5,8,9,13 13-2= 11 11 is your range. Note: The range doesn't have to be a number in the data.
