The range, huh? Sounds like something you'd measure in a gym, not a data set. But I guess that's the technical term for it.

Breadth? That's a new one. I always just called it the range.

I always thought it was called the spread, but I guess range makes sense too.

I almost went with C) Spread, but then I remembered that's a more general term. B) Range is the way to go here.

I thought the median was the measure of spread, but I guess that's not the case. B) Range seems like the right answer.
