D.There is not enough information

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Final Exams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The IQR is the difference between the lower and upper quartiles of the data and is a measure of the spread of the data.

Mid Term Exam:

First find the Median

This is (95+92)/2 = 93.5.

The Lower quartile is the median of the bottom 5 values = 88.

The upper quartile is the median of the top 5 values = 100

So the IQR = 100 - 88 = 12.

Final Exam.

We find the IQR of the Final exam data in a similar way:

It comes to 93 - 78 = 15.
