Answer:
B. 13.8
Explanation:
The five-number summary consists of five items which is usually displayed on a box plot, and can be represented in ascending order.
The five-number summary given: 3.5, 12, 19.1, 25.8, 31.8, represents the following in ascending order:
1. The minimum value = 3.5
2. First quartile (Q1) = 12
3. The median = 19.1
4. Third quartile (Q3) = 25.8
5. The maximum value = 31.8
The interquartile range = Q3 - Q1
Therefore, the interquartile range of the data = 25.8 - 12 = 13.8
