Notes: Range and Outliers
Range: To find the range of a data set, subtract the lowest value from the
highest value.
Example:
2, 4, 7, 7, 13, 24, 33, 34
Range: 34-2= 32
Try it! *Be careful not all data sets are in order from least to greatest

Range=___________
Outliers: a value in a data set that is significantly higher or lower than
the other values.
Outliers can sometimes cause your data to be misleading!
Example:
7, 12, 5, 2, 16, 39, 18, 4
Outlier= 34
