Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
\(Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}\) (N + 1)th
\(\frac{1}{4} \times 12^{th}\) no.
= 3rd no (\(\cong\) 4)
\(Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}\) (N + 1)th
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) x 12th no.
= 9th no. (\(\cong\) 12)
Hence, interquartile range
= \(Q_3 - Q_1\)
= 12 - 4
= 8
\(Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}\) (N + 1)th
\(\frac{1}{4} \times 12^{th}\) no.
= 3rd no (\(\cong\) 4)
\(Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}\) (N + 1)th
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) x 12th no.
= 9th no. (\(\cong\) 12)
Hence, interquartile range
= \(Q_3 - Q_1\)
= 12 - 4
= 8
