Example Question #5 : Range
Given the following set of numbers, find the range.
In order to find the range for a set of data, take the largest number and subtract the smallest number.
In this case, the largest number is and the smallest number is .
Remember that when we subtract a negative, we are actually adding the absolute value of the numbers:
Therefore:
is the same as
Example Question #7 : Find Range
Find the range of the data set provided:
In order to answer this question correctly, we need to recall the definition of range:
Range: The range of a data set is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value in the set.
In order to find the range, we need to first organize the data from least to greatest to find the lowest and highest values:
Next, we can solve for the difference between the highest value and the lowest value:
The range for this data set is
