This video tutorial teaches how to use the range to compare data and make inferences. It covers different ways to express range and applies these concepts to various data sets, including basketball scores, school event attendance, and meal costs. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of consistency in data and how a smaller range can make the mean a more reliable measure. It also highlights the need to compare the same population when calculating range.

What is one way to express the range of a data set?

• As a sum of all values

• As a fraction
