Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The highest number minus the lowest number in a set of data is called the ____
A
mean
B
range
C
median
D
maximum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values within a set of numbers. To calculate range, subtract the smallest number from the largest number in the set. If a six-server rack includes 90 W, 98 W, 100 W, 102 W, 105 W and 110 W, the power consumption range is 110 W-90 W = 20 W.

Detailed explanation-2: -To calculate the range, you need to find the largest observed value of a variable (the maximum) and subtract the smallest observed value (the minimum).

Detailed explanation-3: -The minimum is the smallest value in the data set. The maximum is the largest value in the data set.

Detailed explanation-4: -The range in statistics for a given data set is the difference between the highest and lowest values. For example, if the given data set is 2, 5, 8, 10, 3, then the range will be 10 – 2 = 8. Thus, the range could also be defined as the difference between the highest observation and lowest observation.
