Explain how the range and standard deviation compare for different distributions.
What will be an ideal response?
The range only uses the two most extreme scores in the distribution so it is a fairly imprecise measure of variability. It does not provide any information about the scores between these two extremes. The standard deviation uses all the scores in its calculation so you are getting a more precise measure of variability from the standard deviation.
