What is the interquartile range?

The interquartile range is the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile.

Third quartile = 3/4(n + 1)

First quartile = 1/4 x (n + 1)

New York's temperature arranged in ascending order: 26, 36, 36, 39, 42, 46, 49, 51, 55, 57

  • Third quartile = 3/4 x 11 = 8.25 term = 51
  • First quartile = 1/4 x 11 = 2.75 terms = 36
  • Interquartile range = 51 - 36 = 15

Sacramento's temperature arranged in ascending order: 68. 72. 73, 73, 75, 75, 76, 77, 80, 82

  • Third quartile = 3/4 x 11 = 8.25 term = 77
  • First quartile = 1/4 x 11 = 2.75 terms = 73
  • Interquartile range = 77 - 73 = 4
