How we can use range:
To find the range in any data set, following the steps below for an example data set:
Data set: 21, 23, 47, 43, 20, 87, 57, 44
Step 1: Find the highest number: 87
Step 2: Find the lowest number: 20
Step 3: Subtract the lowest number from the highest number: 87 - 20 = 67
Therefore, the range is 67
