Question

What would be the smaller number : -7 or -12 ?

Answer 1

The interquartile range is a measure of the "central tendency" just like the standard deviation. Half the data points lie within the interquartile range (and that's true whether you have 20 measurements or 10,000). A small interquartile range means that the data are very consistent (most values lie close to each other).
