range

In statistics, a measure of dispersion in a frequency distribution, equalling the difference between the largest and smallest values of the variable. The range is sensitive to extreme values in the sense that it will give a distorted picture of the dispersion if one measurement is unusually large or small. The interquartile range is often preferred.
