Eva conducted a survey to find out the amount of time high schoolers spend surfing the internet. from the data collected, the range of time spent was 3 hours. what does this range say about the data?

In statistics, the range is the difference of the maximum and the minimum value in your data set. Its significance is to give a quantifiable description of how widely spread your data points are. So, if the range is 3 hours, that means that the data points could vary from 0 to 3 hours. There is a limitation in using range to tell the spread, however. If the data set have outliers, the range might be inaccurate. Outliers are data points that are obviously different from the rest of the group. Hence, you can only use range when the data points are very close to each other.
