Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The range is defined as the difference between the largest and smallest values in a set of responses. It is not a measure of central tendency, nor does it describe the average distance of distribution values from the mean. The mode is the value that appears in a distribution most often, and the average squared deviation about the mean is known as the variance.
