<em>Additional comment</em>
The range is used for a variety of purposes. In some cases, it can be used to estimate the variance. In other cases, it can be used to choose bin boundaries for a histogram or other chart of values.
This use of the term "range" should not be confused with the idea of the "range" of a <em>function</em>. That is the list (or description) of <em>all function values</em>.
