Range of a set of data
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest in a data set
Range = Highest − lowest
- Example 1. Find the range of 15 19 10 17 17 16 18
- Example 2. Find the range of 15 22 21 18 15 4 12 5 23
(a) | Order the numbers |
10, 15, 16, 17, 17, 18, 19 | |
(b) | Find the range |
Range = Highest − Lowest | |
Range = 19 − 10 = 9 |
(a) | Order the numbers |
4, 5, 12, 15, 15, 18, 21, 22, 23 | |
(b) | Find the range |
Range = Highest − Lowest | |
Range = 23 − 4 = 19 |
