range -- subtract the smallest number from the largest...but dont get this confused with interquartile range (IQR) because it is different

Answer: The correct option is, subtract the smallest number from the largest number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Range : It is defined as the difference between the highest (maximum) number and the lowest (minimum) number within the given set of numbers.

Let us assume that the range of a set of data is, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Formula used for the calculation of range :

Range = Maximum number - Minimum number

As per assuming data,

The maximum number is, '7'

The minimum number is, '2'

Now put the values in the formula, we get the range of a set of data.

Range = 7 - 2 = 5

Hence, the correct option is, subtract the smallest number from the largest number.
