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 55
To 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 interquartile range?

An interquartile range is a measurement of dispersion about the mean. The lower the IQR, the more the data is bunched up around the mean. It's calculated by subtracting Q1 from Q3.


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 is the semi interquartile range?

The semi interquartile range is a measure for spread or dispersion. To find it you have to subtract the first quartile from Q3 and divide that by 2, (Q3 - Q1)/2


Why is the interquartile range a more appropriate measure for spread than the range?

the interquartile range is not sensitive to outliers.
