00:00:00.003 --> 00:00:04.735
Find the range and the midrange of the following sets of numbers

00:00:04.735 --> 00:00:06.923
So what the range tells us is essentially

00:00:06.923 --> 00:00:08.738
how spread apart these numbers are

00:00:08.738 --> 00:00:10.258
And the way that you calculate it is

00:00:10.258 --> 00:00:12.044
You just take the difference between the

00:00:12.044 --> 00:00:14.506
the largest of these numbers and the smallest

00:00:14.506 --> 00:00:15.833
of these numbers

00:00:15.833 --> 00:00:17.187
And so if we look at the largest

00:00:17.187 --> 00:00:18.055
of these numbers

00:00:18.055 --> 00:00:20.562
I'll circle it in magenta, it looks like it is 94

00:00:20.562 --> 00:00:23.191
94 is larger than every other number here

00:00:23.191 --> 00:00:25.418
So that's the largest of the numbers

00:00:25.418 --> 00:00:27.481
And from that we want to subtract

00:00:27.481 --> 00:00:29.466
the smallest of the numbers

00:00:29.466 --> 00:00:31.131
And the smallest of the numbers in our set

00:00:31.131 --> 00:00:32.320
right over here is 65

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:33.959
(Circled in green)

00:00:33.959 --> 00:00:36.408
So you want to subtract 65 from 94

00:00:36.408 --> 00:00:38.133
and this is equal to...

00:00:38.133 --> 00:00:40.822
if this was 95 minus 65, it would be 30

00:00:40.822 --> 00:00:42.562
94 is one less than 95

00:00:42.562 --> 00:00:44.426
so it is 29

00:00:44.426 --> 00:00:48.165
So the larger this number is that means the more spread out the larger the

00:00:48.165 --> 00:00:50.969
difference between the largest and the smallest number

00:00:50.969 --> 00:00:54.194
the smaller this is, that means, the [tighter?]

00:00:54.194 --> 00:00:58.557
the range [just to use the word itself?] of the numbers actually are, so that's the range

00:00:58.557 --> 00:01:01.552
the midrange is one way of thinking

00:01:01.552 --> 00:01:05.297
to some degree of kind of central tendency, so midrange,

00:01:05.297 --> 00:01:09.744
midrange, and would you do with the midrange is to take the average

00:01:09.744 --> 00:01:12.987
of the largest number and the smallest number

00:01:12.987 --> 00:01:17.786
so, here we took the difference that's the range. The midrange would be the average of this two numbers

00:01:17.786 --> 00:01:27.272
so 94 plus 65 when we talk about average and [talk about] arithmetic mean over 2 so this is going to be what...

00:01:27.272 --> 00:01:32.532
90 plus 60 is 150, 150 plus...

00:01:32.532 --> 00:01:39.697
4 plus 5 is 159, 159 divided by 2 is equal to

00:01:39.697 --> 00:01:45.273
150 divided by 2, is 75, 9 divided by 2 is 4.5,

00:01:45.273 --> 00:01:49.996
so this would be 79.5

00:01:49.996 --> 00:01:52.810
so is one kind [of way?] of thinking about the middle of these numbers,

00:01:52.810 --> 00:01:57.556
another way is obviously the arithmetical mean we [] to take []

00:01:57.556 --> 00:01:59.886
obviously you can also look at things as the median and the mode

00:01:59.886 --> 00:02:02.600
so range and midrange
