Question from Todd, a student:

When calculating the range you subtract the low number from the high number. If all the scores are the same is the range considered 1 or 0?

You are right Todd. That's how you calculate range.

So if you subtract a number from itself, you get 0. Hence, the range in
this case is zero.
