Which is the interquartile range of the number of books read by the students in Mr. Ford's class? Answer: A. 14 books B.17 books C.16 books D.30 books

Answer:
B. 17 books
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a box plot. We are asked to find interquartile range for our given box-plot.
We know that interquartile range is difference of upper quartile and lower quartile.
[tex]IQR=Q_3-Q_1[/tex]
We know that first line of box plot represents lower quartile and last line of box represents lower quartile.
[tex]IQR=25-8[/tex]
[tex]IQR=17[/tex]
Therefore, 17 books is the interquartile range of the number of books read by the students in Mr. Ford's class.
