Question

What does Range mean in Math?

Answer 1

Range:

• In statistics, the range of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values.
• It can be used as a measure of variability.
• For example, for the given data $\left\{3,5,7,4,8,9\right\}$, the highest value is $9$ and the lowest value is $3$. So the range of the data is $9-3=6$
• In relations and functions, domain and range are important terms. The range is the set of all possible dependent values a relation can produce from a domain value. In a function, there will be exactly one output value for an input value.
• For example, a function $f\left(x\right)=x+1$, the domain is all the values of $x$and the range is the corresponding values of $f\left(x\right)$.
