Explain how to find the IQR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IQR?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

interquartle range

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Do you have data for a specific example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

know that's the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so do you know

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Consider the following data set: {3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 11, 12, 14, 15} The median is the value half way between the two values either side of the middle: \[median=\frac{7+9}{2}=8\] The data can be partitioned into subsets, each with 6 members: {3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7} and {9, 11, 11, 12, 14, 15} The Lower Quartile is the median of the first of these two subsets, \[LQ=\frac{4+5}{2}=4.5\] and the Upper Quartile is the median of the other subset, \[UQ=\frac{11+12}{2}=11.5\] The Interquartile Range is the difference between the Upper and Lower Quartiles: IQR = 11.5 - 4.5 = 7
