Question

The difference between the maximum and the minimum observations in the data is

• A. class interval
• B. frequency
• C. cumulative frequency
• D. range

Answer 1

The correct option is D range

The difference between maximum and the minimum observation in the data is range.

For example, suppose an experiment involves finding out the weight of lab rats and the values in grams are 320, 367, 423, 471 and 480. In this case, the range is simply computed as 480-320 = 160 grams.
