What is the range?

The range is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value in a dataset. Range = Highest value - Lowest value

What are quartiles?

Quartiles are values that divide an ordered dataset into four equal parts: - Q1 (Lower quartile): 25% below - Q2 (Median): 50% below - Q3 (Upper quartile): 75% below

Sample Questions

The range of a set of data is calculated by:

A. Adding all the values together
B. Dividing the total by the number of values
C. Subtracting the smallest value from the largest value
D. Finding the middle value when ordered
