What is the interquartile range of the following data set? 45, 12, 48, 96, 61, 84, 29, 1,72,5,14
a.45
b.33
c.27
d.60
(apex)

The interquartile range is 60 ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range is the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile

Let us explain how to find the interquartile range

Let us do these steps to find it

∵ The data set is {45, 12, 48, 96, 61, 84, 29, 1, 72, 5, 14}

→ Arrange them

∴ The data set is {1, 5, 12, 14, 29, 45, 48, 61, 72, 84, 96}

∵ They are 11 numbers

∴ The middle number is the 6th number (5 before it and 5 after it)

∵ The 6th number is 45

∴ The median is 45

→ Find the lower set (before the median)

∴ The lower set is {1, 5, 12, 14, 29}

→ Find the lower quartile Q1

∵ The lower quartile is the middle number in this set

∵ There are 5 numbers

∴ The middle one is the 3rd

∵ The 3rd is 12

∴ Q1 = 12

→ Find the upper set (after the median)

∴ The upper set is {48, 61, 72, 84, 96}

→ Find the upper quartile Q3

∵ The upper quartile is the middle number in this set

∵ There are 5 numbers

∴ The middle one is the 3rd

∵ The 3rd is 72

∴ Q3 = 72

→ Subtract them to find the interquartile range

∵ The interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

∴ The interquartile range = 72 - 12

∴ The interquartile range = 60
