This paper investigates range statistics and its application on the hypothesis testing of equivalence of mean of multiple systems. We develop an equivalence‐testing procedure that allows unequal variances among systems and discuss how to estimate the required critical constant, that is, quantiles of a range. A table of critical constants is provided for implementing the procedure. An experimental performance evaluation demonstrates the validity and efficiency of the procedure.
