Answer:

Option c.  Both sets have an interquartile range of 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find median first we write both the sets in ascending order.

Set 1: 65, 66, 77, 79, 81, 93, 104, 105

Median is the middle number of the set or mean of two middle numbers. Median = [tex]\frac{79+81}{2}[/tex] = 80

Range = highest - lowest

Range = 105 - 65 = 40

IQR = Median of upper quartile - Median of lower quarlile

QR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = 98.5 - 71.5 = 27

Set 1 : Median = 80, Range = 40, IQR = 27

Set 2: 1, 29, 56, 59, 60, 67, 72, 74

Median = [tex]\frac{59+60}{2}[/tex] = 59.5

Range = 74 - 1 = 73

IQR = 69.5 - 42.5 = 27

Set 2 : Median = 59.5, Range = 73, IQR = 27

Option c. is correct Both sets have an interquartile range of 27.
