We will be moving on to looking at the mode, mean and range of data.

The Range (Statistics)

The Range is the difference between the lowest and highest values.

Example: In {4, 6, 9, 3, 7} the lowest value is 3, and the highest is 9.

So the range is 9-3 = 6.

                                                                       It is that simple!
