Answer:

5.5

Explanation:

2,3,3,4,5,7,8,8,8,10,10,12

The mean of this data is 7.5. So what you are trying to figure out is the mean between 2 and 7. Since that is 3 and 4 it would be 3.5. So 3.5 is the Q1. Now you have to figure out the mean between 8 and 12. That is 9. This is Q3. You have to subtract 9-3.5 and that is the interquartile range. So 5.5 is the answer. I hope that made sense.
