Abstract
The probability density function for the range of a sample from a population whose distribution can be represented by an Edgeworth series is developed. Moments of the range are obtained and the numerical values of the corrective functions arising due to non-normality tabulated. Results for moments of the range of various nonnormal distributions are compared.Keywords
