Answer:

B. 13.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The five-number summary consists of five items which is usually displayed on a box plot, and can be represented in ascending order.

The five-number summary given: 3.5, 12, 19.1, 25.8, 31.8, represents the following in ascending order:

1. The minimum value = 3.5

2. First quartile (Q1) = 12

3. The median = 19.1

4. Third quartile (Q3) = 25.8

5. The maximum value = 31.8

The interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

Therefore, the interquartile range of the data = 25.8 - 12 = 13.8
