Good
Next step: Identify two halves and find the median of lower half and the upper half.
Since the number of terms is odd, you will ignore the middle number.

So you have 3 numbers in each half. What are the medians of each? Median is the number in the middle.

These numbers are called Q3 and Q1.
IQR is the difference of Q3 and Q1.
