Question

Find the range of the following data. 5.3, 6.2, 3.1, 4.8, 7.3

Answer 1

Range = max - min
$7.3 - 3.1 = 4.2$
Range = 4.2

Answer 2

Find the range of the following data. 5.3, 6.2, 3.1, 4.8, 7.3

Solution:

In Statistics, Range is the difference between the lowest and highest values.

Or, Range= Maximum Value-Minimum Value

In the given set :5.3,6.2,3.1, 4.8, 7.3

Let us arrange in increasing order first

3.1, 4.8, 5.3, 6.2, 7.3

So, The Lowest value in the set=3.1

And, The Highest value in the set=7.3

So, Range= Highest Value- Lowest Value

Range=7.3-3.1

Range=4.2

Answer: Range=4.2
