Explanation:
A data set's range is the dissimilarity at the mid of the biggest values and the lowest values within the set. Then the order of the data from least to largest, in order to find the range. After all, subtract the lowest value from the set's biggest value.
[tex]Range = Maximum\:entry\:of\:data - Minimum\:entry\:of\:data[/tex]
Advantage:
It is easy to compute by using the measure of variation through range.
Disadvantage:
It uses not more than two entries at a time from the data set.
