Why might the range not be the best estimate of variability?

It may be because the range isn't actually considered an average, it's shown using a box and whiskers diagram, Mode is the most common number. Mean is all the numbers added up and divided by the amount of values there are in the adding up process. so overall the range is less useful to show variability as it only shows the lowest and highest number in the data, and not the different individual numbers variety amongst the results

Answer:

Range does not measure the spread of the majority of values in a data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to tell why the range might not be the best estimate of variability.

We know that range is the difference between the upper data and lower data point of a data set.

We know that variability determines the spread of a data.

When a data set has large values data outliers, then it will affect the spread.

Let us take an example of the following data set.

1,2,2,2,5,5,5,6,6,6,7,7,7,8,8,201

The range of the data would be 201-1=200, while all the data points except 201 are 1 away from each other.

Since range does not measure the spread of the majority of values in a data set, therefore, the range is not the best estimate of variability.

That should be it!

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (04.03) The expression below shows the population of foxes in a forest after 12x years: f(x) = 50(1.05)12x Which of the following is an equivalent function? f(x) = 50(1.7959)x f(x) = 50(12.6000)x f(x) = 600(1.05)x f(x) = 4.2(1.05)x Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (04.01) Which of the following best defines 3 to the power of 2 over 3? Square root of 9 Cube root of 9 Cube root of 3 Square root of 3 Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (04.06) A sequence has its first term equal to 4, and each term of the sequence is obtained by adding 2 to the previous term. If f(n) represents the nth term of the sequence, which of the following recursive functions best defines this sequence? f(1) = 2 and f(n) = f(n − 1) + 4; n > 1 f(1) = 4 and f(n) = f(n − 1) + 2n; n > 1 f(1) = 2 and f(n) = f(n − 1) + 4n; n > 1 f(1) = 4 and f(n) = f(n − 1) + 2; n > 1 Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (05.05) Look at the graph below: First line joins ordered pairs negative 4, 3 and 2, negative 3. Second line joins negative 4, negative 3 and 2, 3. Part A shaded above first and second line. Part B shaded below first line and above second line. Part C shaded below first and second lines. Part D shaded above first line and below second line. Which part of the graph best represents the solution set to the system of inequalities y ≤ x + 1 and y + x ≤ −1? Part A Part B Part C Part D Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (04.03) The number of bacteria in a sample increased by a factor of 2 every minute from 9:05 AM to 9:55 a.m.. The function below shows the number of bacteria in the sample f(x) after x minutes from 9:05 a.m.: f(x) = 10(2)x Which of the following is a reasonable domain for the function? 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 5 ≤ x ≤ 55 0 ≤ x ≤ 50 All positive integers Question 6 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (03.05) The graph below shows the velocity f(t) of a runner during a certain time interval: graph of line going through ordered pairs 0, 2 and 6, 8. Graph of another line through ordered pairs 6, 8 and 8, 0. Label on the x axis is time in second and label on the y axis is velocity in meters per second Which of the following describes the intercepts on the graph? The initial velocity of the runner was 8 m/s, and the runner stopped after 2 seconds. The initial velocity of the runner was 2 m/s, and the runner stopped after 8 seconds. The initial acceleration of the runner was 8 m/s2, and the runner stopped after 2 seconds. The initial acceleration of the runner was 2 m/s2, and the runner stopped after 8 seconds. Question 7 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (03.03) Choose the equation that represents the graph below: Graph of a line passing through points negative 3 comma 0 and 0 comma 3 y = x − 3 y = −x + 3 y = −x − 3 y = x + 3 Question 8 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (04.03) Jake forgot to replace the cap on a bottle of cologne. The cologne began to evaporate at the rate of 18% per day. If the original amount of cologne in the bottle was 50 grams, which of the following graphs best represents the amount of cologne f(x) remaining in the bottle after x days? graph of function f of x equals 30 multiplied by 0.88 to the power of x graph of exponential function going down from left to right in quadrant 1 through the point 0, 40 and approaching the x axis graph of function f of x equals 50 multiplied by 0.82 to the power of x graph of exponential function going down from left to right in quadrant 1 through the point 0, 4 and approaching the x axis
