Answer:
The interquartile range is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ah, a throwback to interquartile range... let me help :)
4,5,6,8,9,10,11,12
First, you need to know how to use the IQR. The interquartile range is basically known as the process of subtracting the upper quartile and the lower quartile of a set of data. The lower quartile should be written as Q1, and the upper quartile would be labeled as Q3. This would make the midpoint (median) data set Q2, and the highest possible point would be labeled Q4. Next, you have to always understand what you are looking at. For example, let's split the set 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 into groups. 5 and 6 would be Q1, 7 and 8 would be Q2, 9 and 10 would be Q3, and last but not least, 11 and 12 would be labeled as Q4. Now take Q1 and subtract it from Q3 and that is how you get your IQR.
You have to do 10•10•10•10•10 (multiply 10, 5 times). Once you multiply 10 five times, you end up with an answer of 100,000 pencils in each box. Then since you have 6 boxes of pencils you have to multiply 100,000•6, which equals 600,000 pencils total.
I think this is wrong but square
