Best Answer

You arrange the data set in ascending order. You then find the observation such that a quarter of the observations are smaller than it and three quarters are bigger. That value is the lower quartile. Next find the observation such that three quarters of the observations are smaller than it and a quarter are bigger. That value is the upper quartile. Upper quartile minus lower quartile = IQR.

Is the interquartile range or IQR is found by subtracting the mean from the maximum value of a data set?

No. The IQR is found by finding the lower quartile, then the upper quartile. You then minus the lower quartile value from the upper quartile value (hence "interquartile"). This gives you the IQR.
