Range
Range is the difference between your highest and
lowest
values. It is used with the
median
.
How it is calculated:
Take the
lowest
value from the
highest
value and adding. Adding 1 enables the data to be rounding up or down to account for any
margin
of error.
Strengths
Quick and easy to
calculate
Limitations
It does not take central values of a
data set
into account, and so it can be
skewed
by extremely high or low values.
