How do you find the interquartile range of a data?
The Inter-quartile range is the range of the middle half of the data. It is the difference between the upper and lower quartile.Example: 35,80,100 110,120,120,170,180.The Inter-quartile range would be 145-90 or 55To find the interquartile range, you:1) Arrange the data in numerical order.2) Then find the median of the data sets.3) Find the median of the top half and bottom half. (of the set of numbers)4) The groups you now have are "quartiles"5) Find the interquartile range. (subtract the smaller range from the range)
What is a measure of the spread of a set of data?
The standard deviation is the value most used. Others are variance, interquartile range, or range.
What does interquartile range do?
It is a measure of the spread of a set of observations. It is easy to calculate and is not distorted by extreme values (or mistakes). On the other hand it does not use all of the information contained in the data set.
When might the inter-quartile range be better for describing a data set than the range?
The interquartile range can be more useful when the first and fourth quartiles contain very little data, in other words there are only a very few high or low data points.
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.
How do you find the interquartile range in a set of data?
how do you find the interquartile range of this data
What is the meaing of interquartile range in math?
The interquartile range of a set of data is the difference between the upper quartile and lower quartile.

What does the Interquartile range tell you about the data set?
It tells you that middle half the observations lie within the IQR.
How do you find the semi interquartile range of a set of statistics?
You find the semi interquartile range by subtracting the 25th percentile (Q1) from the 75th (Q3) percentile and dividing by 2. So, the formula looks like : (Q3 - Q1)/2
What are the two data sets of 5 values which have the same range and interquartile range but the first set is symmetrical and the other set is skewed left?
Here is one pair: {1, 2, 3, 6, 7} and {1, 2, 5, 6, 7} The fact that the range and interquartile range are the same fixes the relative positions four points in each set - all but the median.
