Answer:
5
Explanation:
1.) Order the numbers from least to greatest (1,2,4,4,6,7,9,12) then find the HIGHEST and LOWEST #.
2.) Find the number in the very middle, which would be 4 and 6. Since it's not one number, add them both together and divide by 2 (4+6=10, 10/2=5). This will be your MEDIAN.
3.) Similar to step 2, find the number in the middle of the median and lowest number. Ignore the median in this. Since it's 2 numbers again, add both together and divide by 2 (2+4=6, 6/2 = 3, making the first interquartile 3).
4.) Repeat step 3, but instead of finding the number in the middle of the median and lowest number, use the highest number instead of the lowest. Since this also happens to be 2 numbers, repeat the same step of adding the numbers and then dividing by 2 (7+9=16, 16/2=8, making the second interquartile 8).
5.) Now, subtract both interquartiles. This should give you your answer (5).
