Question

Explain how to find the range of a data set

Answer 1

Answer:

The range of a data set is defined as the difference between the largest number and the smallest one.

So the first thing you need to do is order the numbers from least to greatest

Took the greatest number, and subtract the smallest one

The result of that subtraction is equal to the range of the data set:

an example is:

if the data set is:

(4, 5, 7, 2, 10)

order it:

(2, 4, 5, 7, 10)

do the subtraction:

10 - 2 = 8

the range of the data set is equal to 8

Answer 2

To find the range, first order the data from least to greatest. Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.
