Spanish term

rango medio

Spanish to English Social Sciences Mathematics & Statistics Education/student survey
SPAIN. This appears in the statistical results of an article about student perceptions of attention to diversity, among other things. I'm not sure whether this will be range, rank or ranking. Usually a range involves more than one figure, but in the sample text below there is just one number after each occurrence of the term, which is throwing me off my stride.


"En esta ocasión, observamos cómo los que asisten a Programas ATAL muestran diferencias con los tres tipos de medidas restantes.... Siendo el grupo de ATAL los que alcanzan el ***rango medio*** menor (1776.64) respecto a su percepción de la atención a la diversidad. En ese sentido, el resto de tipos de medidas tienen una visión más positiva de las medidas de atención a la diversidad (refuerzo, rango medio= 2162.04; no recibe medidas, rango medio= 2233.12; PMAR, rango medio= 2197.97)."

With Phil, unlikely to be range. I have the impression it's average, because there are some specific numbers there.

Jury is out I'm going to ask the client to confirm the correct option, so I won't be closing the query for a few days until I hear from them. Thanks for all the comments so far, it's been really helpful.

Mid-range? Could it be mid-range? I found this website that helps solve math problems, and it's apparently bilingual too:

philgoddard Mar 3, 2023:
I agree that it's unlikely to be range, so it must be ranking, especially since it's about "percepción de la atención a la diversidad".

I would expect it to be explained before this, since they wouldn't just present the numbers without saying what they mean.

Thank searching Khan Academy in different languages confirmed my suspicion. Here are the links for the class on the same subject, only different languages:

Good luck!

*Then searching Khan Academy in different languages... Sorry.
Note from asker:
Thanks, but I still have the same issue phil mentions (range vs rank/ing). I'm going to ask the client so it may be a few days until I hear from them.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "The client said "probably mean range", but I suggested "mid-range" and they said "go for it", so there you go. Thanks to everyone for chipping in."
