To find the range of the dataset 8, 2, 10, 4, 4, and 6, we examine all individual numbers to find the highest and lowest values. The maximum value in this set is 10, and the minimum value is 2. Duplicate numbers like the extra 4 do not affect the calculation because the range depends solely on the absolute extremes of the data. Using the standard statistical formula, you subtract the minimum value from the maximum value (10 minus 2), resulting in 8. Thus, the range of this dataset is 8, indicating the total span between extremes.
