A. 22.3
B. 3.175
C. 5.075
D. 8.25

Respuesta :

Answer: D. 8.25

Step-by-step explanation: A data set can be divided into 4 equal parts, called Quartile. A quartile divides the data into three points:

  • Lower quartile: Q1;
  • Median: Q2;
  • Upper quartile: Q3;

Interquartile Range (IQR) is a measure of variability based on data divided into quartiles or the measure of where the bulk of the values are.

To calculate interquartile range:

IQR = Q3 - Q1

The table shows Q1 = 27.825 and Q3 = 36.075, then

IQR = 36.075 - 27.825

IQR = 8.25

The value of interquartile range is 8.25.
