Answer:

The IQR is calculated as the difference between the third quartile (Q3) and the first quartile (Q1). In this case, the box extends from 17 to 20, so Q1 is 17 and Q3 is 20. Thus, the IQR is 20 - 17 = 3.

Therefore, the appropriate measure of variability for the data is the IQR, and its value is 3.

Option A ("The IQR is the best measure of variability, and it equals 3") is the correct answer
