Range & Interquartile Range (IQR)
We can gain a better understanding of a data set by locating the middle or centre of the data and measuring the spread. Knowing one of these without the other is often of little use.

The interquartile range is another way to gain an idea about the spread of data. It interquartile range is the difference between the upper and lower quartiles of the data.
