Answer 2

Answer:

In statistics, the Range of a sample of data is calculated by the difference of the largest observation and the smallest observation.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In statistical analysis of a collection of a given data/sample of data, the range of a data is the smallest interval which contains the data.

• For calculating the range of a given data sample, we need to arrange the data in an ascending order to find its least observation, b and greatest observation, a.

• Then, the difference of the greatest and the least observation gives us the range of a particular data.
• The range of data will be: $Range=a-b$
