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.\(Uncertainty=\frac{range}{2}\).
