Answer 1

Answer:

false, the difference between largest and smallest observation in a data is called range.

Answer 2

The difference between the largest and smallest observations in a data set is called the Range.

• In any given set of observations, there is one value that is the highest and one that is the lowest.
• On subtracting these, the set's range is obtained.
• It is used to determine how much the set of numbers is dispersed or spread out.
• In a set of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the range will be equal to (5-1) i.e., 4.
• The mean value is the set's average and is incorrect.
