In statistics, the range of a set of data is the size of the narrowest interval that contains every value in the set. It is found by subtracting the smallest value, the sample minimum, from the largest value, the sample maximum, and it carries the same units as the data itself. The range is one basic way to describe how spread out a set of numbers is. More robust ways of describing spread also exist, such as the interdecile range and the interquartile range, which are less affected by a single extreme value than the plain range is.

Is Kind Of Object
Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
