Answer 1

Answer:

$IQR = 15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

I will answer this question with the attached plot

Required

The interquartile range (IQR)

This is calculated using:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

On the second attachment, I identified Q1 and Q3 on the plot.

So, we have:

$Q_3 = 40$

$Q_1 = 25$

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

$IQR = 40 - 25$

$IQR = 15$
