I feel like I might mix up the positions for Q1 and Q3. I should probably sketch it out to avoid confusion during the exam.

I think the interquartile range is just Q3 minus Q1, but I need to double-check the values from the dataset.

I remember that the first quartile is at the 25th percentile, but I'm a bit unsure how to calculate the exact positions from the images.

No problem, I've got this! The formulas for the quartile positions are straightforward, and from there it's just a matter of calculating the range and interquartile range. I'll work through this systematically.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to approach this. The formulas for the quartile positions seem a bit confusing. I'll need to review my notes on quartiles and see if I can figure out how to use these expressions.

Okay, this looks like a statistics question about quartiles and measures of spread. I'll need to carefully read the formulas given and think through the calculations step-by-step.

Quartiles, quartiles... Why do they always make these questions so complicated? I bet the answer is simpler than it seems. Fingers crossed I can figure this out!
