The Range calculator computes the difference between the highest value in the data set,`X_("max")`, and the lowest value in the data set, `X_("min")`.
NOTE: many vCalc equations are embedded throughout vCalc descriptive pages like this page. Even though they may not stand out in the text, if you hover over the name of an equation it will likely be linked to an actual, pop-up executable equation. For example: Arithmetic Mode
Enter the following:
You can copy and paste in your own list of comma-separated values to compute the range of a data set.
The calculator orders the values in the data set and finds the difference of the two extremes.
Let our data set when ordered be: 2.222, 8, 16, 16.5, 18.8, 22, 27.82, 36, 40
`X_("max") = 40`
`X_("min") = 2.222`
`"Range"_(X) = X_("max") - X_("min") = 40 - 2.222 = 37.778`
You can try this example data set by copying and pasting the example data set into the vCalc equation for Range.
