Interquartile Range (IQR) for Even Numbers

Example 1: IQR Calculation for Even Data Set

Step 1: Data Set


Lower half: 45, 47, 52, 53
Upper half: 55, 56, 58, 62, 80

Step 2: Median Calculation


Median = [(53 + 55) / 2 = 54]
Lower quartile Q1 = 52
Upper quartile Q3 = 58

Step 3: Interquartile Range Calculation


Interquartile Range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1 = 58 - 52 = 6

Example 2: IQR Calculation for Another Even Data Set

Step 1: Data Set


Lower half: 63, 64, 64, 70
Upper half: 76, 77, 81

Step 2: Median Calculation


Median = 72
Lower quartile Q1 = (64 + 64) / 2 = 64
Upper quartile Q3 = (77 + 81) / 2 = 79

Step 3: Interquartile Range Calculation


Interquartile Range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1 = 79 - 64 = 15
