Find the range of the following data. 5.3, 6.2, 3.1, 4.8, 7.3
Solution:
In Statistics, Range is the difference between the lowest and highest values.
Or, Range= Maximum Value-Minimum Value
In the given set :5.3,6.2,3.1, 4.8, 7.3
Let us arrange in increasing order first
3.1, 4.8, 5.3, 6.2, 7.3
So, The Lowest value in the set=3.1
And, The Highest value in the set=7.3
So, Range= Highest Value- Lowest Value
Range=7.3-3.1
Range=4.2
Answer: Range=4.2
