Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The range is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset. Therefore, the correct answer is C (Max - Min).

Option A (Q3 - Q1) is the interquartile range, which is a measure of the spread of the central 50% of the data.

Option B (Max - Q1) is the upper quartile range, which is the difference between the maximum value and the 75th percentile.

Option D (Max - Median) is not a commonly used measure of spread and does not accurately reflect the variability of the data.
