Question

15. The youngest person in a company is 21. The oldest is 66. What is the range? b. Is the range a good measure of spread for the ages in the company? Why?

Answer 1

If the youngest person is 21 and the oldest person is 64, the range of ages would be:

$\lbrack21,64\rbrack$

This would not be a good measure of spread for the ages in the company, because there's a wide spectrum of ages between 21 and 64.
