Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The interquartile range (IQR) is calculated by finding the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile, which eliminates the effect of extreme values. The range and standard deviation are sensitive to extreme values, while the coefficient of variation is a measure of relative variability that is calculated using the mean and standard deviation, so it is also sensitive to extreme values.
