Range and Outliers

Range -

The positive difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set

Eg. 6, 2, 9, 4, 3 - data set

2, 3, 4, 6, 9 - ordered from least to greatest

9 - 2 = 7

The range is 7

Eg. -8, -1, -3, -5

-8, -5, -3, -1

(-1) - (18) = 7

The range is 7

Outliers -

A value that is much smaller or larger than the other data values

A data set man have one or more outliers or no outliers

* In other words, it's just like finding something that doesn't belong

*In this case, you are looking for numbers that have a big difference between the other numbers


Find the range-

a) 7, 4, 3, 6, 2, 5, 8, 3

2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

8 - 2 = 6

The range is 6


b) 11, 8, 8, 5, 7, 6, 7, 6, 6

5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 11

11 - 5 = 6

The range is 6


c) -4, 3, -1 , 0, 2

-4, -1, 0, 2, 3

3 - (-4) = 7

The range is 7


Find the outliers-

a) 18, 19, 79, 17, 20, 12 - 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 79 - The range is 79

b) 14, 14, 16, 15, 1, 16 - 1, 14, 14, 15, 16, 16 - The range is 1

c) 98, 202, 99, 91, 2, 95, 89, 88, 94 - 2, 88, 89, 91, 94, 95, 98, 99, 202 - The range is 2 and 202

  14. Great job Kristel. Your post was very easy to read, yet very informative. It had colour were it was needed (titles, the reminder), and I liked that. I did find a few mistakes. The part about outliers; it said 'the range is' instead of 'the outlier is'. Other than that, great job! :)
