What is one disadvantage of using the range as a measure of dispersion?

1.It offers a researcher so much information regarding the shape of the distribution that subsequent analyses are rendered unnecessary.

2.Ituses most of the raw data in a distribution, which allows a researcher little discretion in the analysis.

3.It uses very little of the data in a distribution; therefore, a researcher has no information regarding the shape of the distribution.

4.It is not a reliable measure suitable for use with continuous or interval level data.
