Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

You have not provided enough information to get a unique answer.

But I will show you how to calculate the interquartile range from the boxplots and compare them.

From the first diagram, the first quartile is


Q_1=3.5

and the 3rd quartile is


Q_3=8.5

The interquartile range is


IQR=Q_3-Q_1 = 8.5 - 3.5

Similarly from the second diagram,


IQR=Q_3-Q_1 = 9.5 - 5 = 4.5

Therefore the first has the highest interquartile range.
