I don't understand what the range is about. Can someone please explain? Thanks in advance.

The range refers to the difference between the highest and lowest values in a given set of data. It is a measure of the variability or spread of the data.
To calculate the range, you subtract the lowest value from the highest value in the data set. This will give you the total range of values in the data set.
The range is used to understand the variability of the data and to determine the overall spread of the values. It can also help identify any outliers or extreme values in the data set.
The mean and median both provide information about the central tendency of the data, while the range provides information about the spread of the data. The range is affected by extreme values, while the mean and median are not.
Yes, the range can be negative if the lowest value in the data set is greater than the highest value. This would indicate that the data set is not normally distributed and has a skewed distribution.
