The interquartile range of the data set will be 33.

Step-by-step explanation

Given data set: { 36, 52, 48, 86, 80, 28, 55, 70 }

First we will rearrange the data in numeric order. So...

{ 28, 36, 48, 52, 55, 70, 80, 86 }

Here middle two numbers are 52 and 55, so the Median will be
((52+55)/(2))= (107)/(2) = 53.5 .

Now two sets are {28, 36, 48, 52} and {55, 70, 80, 86}. The median of the first set is
((36+48)/(2))=(84)/(2)=42 and median of the second set is
((70+80)/(2))=(150)/(2)=75

That means, Lower quartile(Q₁) = 42 and Upper quartile(Q₃) = 75

So, the interquartile range of the data set: IQR= Q₃ - Q₁ = 75 - 42 = 33
