Answer 1

Answer: 40

Explanation:

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

From the box-and-whisker plot, we have

`Min = 175\\ \\Q_1=200\\ \\Q_2\approx 218\\ \\Q_3=240\\ \\Max=280`

By the definition, the interquartile range is

`Q_3-Q_1`

In your case, the interquartile range is

`Q_3-Q_1=240-200=40`

So, the correct choice is option C.
