Definition of Range (Statistics)
The range of a data set is the difference between its highest and lowest values.
For example, the lowest value of the data set \(\{2,3,7,9,1,4\}\) is \(1\) and its highest value is \(9\), so its range is \(9 - 1 = 8\).
The highest value on the dot plot is \(8\) and the lowest value is \(4\), so the range of the data set represented by the dot plot is \(8 - 4 = 4\).
