Sorted data: {42, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 68, 72, 75, 80, 90}. The median is 65. The lower half (excluding median) is {42, 45, 50, 55, 60}. Q1 =   ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲   . The upper half (excluding median) is {68, 72, 75, 80, 90}. Q3 =   ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲   . IQR = Q3 − Q1 =   ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲   .
