Range and Outliers

Range
  • The positive difference between the largest and smallest value in a data.

Here are some examples:




1st- Reorder the data by least to greatest

2 ,3 ,4 ,6 ,9

2nd - Find the largest value and smallest value

2 and 9

3rd- Subtract the lowest value to the highest value

9-2=7
Then you'll get your range


Here are some more examples:

-8 , -1 , -3 , -5
reorder
-8 , -5 , -3 , -1
Find the high and low value then subtract
(-1)-(-8)=7

Outliers
  • A value that is much smaller or larger than the other data values
  • A data set may have one or more outliers or no outliers

Find the Range:

a) 7 , 4 , 3 , 6 , 2 , 5 , 8 , 3


2 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8
8-2=6
6 is your range

b) 11 , 8 , 8 , 5 , 7 , 6 ,7 , 6 , 6

5 , 6 , 6 , 6 , 7 , 7 , 8 , 8 , 11
11-5=6

6 is your range

c)-4 , 3 , -1 , 0 , 2

-4 , -1 , 0 , 2 , 3
3-(-4)=7
7 is your range

Find the outliers:

a) 18 ,19 ,79 ,17 ,20 ,12
12 ,17 ,18 ,19 ,20 ,79 = 79

b) 14 ,14 ,16 ,15 ,1 ,16
1 ,14 ,14 ,15 ,16 ,16 = 1

c) 98 ,202 ,99 ,91 ,2 ,95 ,89 ,88 ,94
2 ,88 ,89 ,91 ,94 ,95 ,98 ,99 ,202= 2 and 202

  1. Great job Paul. Your scribe is very neat and organized. The way you used colour on some of the words made them really pop out. Next time, try not to leave too much space in between the information and the video.
