Question

Explain how to find the range of a data set. what is an advantage of using the range

Answer 1

To find the range you would have to but the data(numbers) in order from least to greatest, then subtract the smallest number from the largest. The disadvantage of using range is that it does not measure the spread of the majority of values in a data set it only measures the spread between highest and lowest values. As a result, other measures are required in order to give a better picture of the data spread.

Answer 2

To find the range take away the biggest number from the smallest number
