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.
