Finding the range of a numerical dataset is a straightforward process in descriptive statistics. First, gather your collection of numbers and arrange them in ascending order from smallest to largest to make extreme values easy to spot. Second, identify the highest value in the dataset as your maximum. Third, identify the lowest value as your minimum. Finally, subtract the minimum value from the maximum value. The resulting difference is the range, providing a quick measure of how dispersed or spread out your data values are from one another.
