range: the difference between the larger and smaller number.

Range is a statistical term that refers to the difference between the largest and smallest values in a set of data. It provides a measure of the dispersion or spread of the data points. To calculate the range, you simply subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the data set.

Here's how you can find the range:

1. Start by arranging your data in ascending or descending order. This step is necessary to determine the smallest and largest values effectively.
2. Identify the smallest value in the data set.
3. Identify the largest value in the data set.
4. Subtract the smallest value from the largest value to find the range.

For example, let's say we have a set of numbers: 5, 2, 9, 1, 7, 4, 6. To find the range, we follow these steps:
1. Arrange the numbers in ascending order: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9.
2. The smallest value is 1.
3. The largest value is 9.
4. Subtract the smallest value (1) from the largest value (9): 9 - 1 = 8.

Therefore, the range of this data set is 8. This means that the data points in this set range from 1 to 9, with a difference of 8 between the largest and smallest values.
