The range of a data set is the difference between the highest and lowest values. Follow these three simple steps to find the range:
1. Identify the Data Set
Collect your numbers in a single, organized list. Make sure you haven’t missed any data points.
2. Find the Minimum and Maximum Values
- Identify the smallest number in your list (minimum value).
- Identify the largest number in your list (maximum value).
3. Calculate the Range
Subtract the minimum value from the maximum value to get the range.
