To find the range, you need to subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the dataset.
Here is the given dataset:
1, 1, 3, 0, 1, 7, 1
First, you need to find the smallest value. In this case, the smallest value is 0.
Next, you need to find the largest value. In this case, the largest value is 7.
To find the range, subtract the smallest value from the largest value: 7 - 0 = 7.
The range of the dataset is 7. This means that the difference between the smallest and largest value in the dataset is 7.
Interpreting the range in this context, it shows that the employees in this sample took sick leave for a range of 0 (meaning, some employees did not take any sick leave) to 7 (meaning, one employee took a total of 7 sick leaves in the past year).
