Range and Interquartile Range

Question 2 • Concepts in Probability and Statistics A

Which measure of spread was most impacted by the outlier?

Answer
A
The range
B
The interquartile range
C
Both were impacted the same
D
Neither was impacted

Explanation

The range uses the minimum and maximum values, so an outlier far from the rest can change it substantially. The interquartile range measures the spread of the middle 50% of the data and is usually much less affected by an outlier. Therefore, the range was most impacted.
