In statistics, the minimum, maximum, and range are important measures used to describe the spread of data. The minimum is the smallest value in a dataset, while the maximum is the largest value. The range, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum values, provides a simple measure of variability in the data. While these measures are useful for understanding the extremes of a dataset, they are sensitive to outliers and may not always provide a complete picture of data distribution. When reporting these values in APA format, it’s important to include appropriate citations and format the reference list correctly, with hanging indentation and alphabetical order by author’s last name.
