Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The interquartile range (IQR) is calculated as the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile of a data set. It only takes into account the middle 50% of the data and is not affected by extreme values, such as outliers. The range and standard deviation are both sensitive to extreme values and can be greatly impacted by them. The coefficient of variation is also sensitive to extreme values as it is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean.
