RANGE Inferential Stat

Range is defined as the difference between the greatest and least values in a data set. It is a measure of variability. The formula for range is the highest score minus the lowest score. Interquartile range is defined as the difference between the upper and lower quartiles. It removes outliers and is less influenced by extremes than range. Both range and IQR provide quick approximations of variability but are limited measures.

RANGE

CARMELA E. MANAOG MARIA P. DELA VEGA Ph.D


Student Professor
What is Range?
•It is the difference between the
greatest value and the least
value in the set of data.
•It is a commonly used measure
of variability.
What is the
formula of
Range?
Formula for the range:

r= H  L
Where r = range
h= highest score
l= lowest score
Example:
The scores of Maria in her Math
quizzes are as follows:
12,25,27,29,36,38,40,43,50, and
62.
Find its range
The scores of Maria in her Math quizzes are as follows: 12,25,27,29,36,38,40,43,50, and 62.
Find its range

Solution:
Highest score (H)= 62lowest score (L)= 12
r= H  L
= 62 12
= 50
Therefore, the range is 50.
Example:
The scores of Maria in her Math
quizzes are as follows:
12,25,27,29,36,38,40,43,50, and
62.
Find its range
Find the range
4,6,9,3,7
Find the range
4,6,9,3,7
R= H-L
= 9- 3
=6

R= H-L
= 37- 19
= 18
Other
Characteristics
of Range
ADVANTAGES:
•Give a quick approximation of
the variability of data.
•It is not very sophisticated or
complicated.
•Used when the mode is
preferred measure of central
tendency.
•It is the simplest measure of
variability or dispersion.
DISADVANTAGES:
•It is limited or partial.
•It is not very informative.
•It is severely affected by
extreme scores in your data
distribution.
What is
Interquartile
Range
Interquartile Range(IQR)
•It is defined as the difference
between the upper quartile and
the lower quartile.
•Interquartile Range= Q3- Q1
Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1
Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

1,2,5,6,7,9,12,15,18,19,27
Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9,12, 15, 18, 19, 27


Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27


Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9,(12, 15, 18, 19, 27)


Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9,(12, 15, 18, 19, 27)


IQR= Q3  Q1
Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9,(12, 15, 18, 19, 27)

IQR= Q3  Q1
Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9,(12, 15, 18, 19, 27)


Q3
IQR= Q3  Q1
Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9,(12, 15, 18, 19, 27)


Q1 Q3
IQR= Q3  Q1
Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9,(12, 15, 18, 19, 27)


Q1 Q3
IQR= Q3  Q1
= 18  5
Example:
2,6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 15, 7, 5,1

(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9,(12, 15, 18, 19, 27)


Q1 Q3
IQR= Q3  Q1
= 18  5

Characteristics
of Interquartile
Range
•It is likely influenced by
extreme scores.
•It discards or removes too
much data.
•The mean and mean absolute
deviation are both affected by
outliners and may not be good
representations of the data in cases
where outliners are like.
•The IQR is a nice measeure to use if
one wishes to do short numerical
description of data set.
