Range provides only a rough indication of the degree of variation among a set of scores because it only measures the difference between the highest and lowest score and does not take into account the distribution of scores in between. Skewed refers to the shape of the distribution, standard deviation measures the spread of the scores around the mean, and median is a measure of central tendency.
