Q1 = 22.1
Q2 (median) = 23.5
Q3 = 26.3

Interquartile range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1 = 26.3 - 22.1 = 4.2 <===

Variation is a term that is used to describe : (C) how spread out or scattered a data set is

Answer 2

We are given the data set {23.5, 22.1, 24.0, 28.6, 26.3, 29.2, 21.0, 22.7, 25.5, 22.3, 21.6} and is asked in the problem the interquartile range.
