Meaning
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest value obtained during the repeat of the same measurement.
About Range
- The range is found by repeating the same reading or measurement and subtracting the smallest value from the largest value.
- The range is useful to calculate the uncertainty in a reading or measurement by dividing it by 2.\(Uncertainty=\frac{range}{2}\).
Examples
 |
The range is found by subtracting the smallest from the largest value.
The ranges in this results table are: 0 0.5 0.3 0.2 0.4 0.5 |
