Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to rearrange the data in ascending order. It becomes

1, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 9

Recall,

interquartile range, IQR = Q3 - Q1

where

Q1 is the lower quartile

Q3 is the upper quartile

Position of Q1 = 0.25(n + 1)

where

n = number of values = 11

Position of Q1 = 0.25(11 + 1) = 3
