Understanding Interquartile Range from Box Plots

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to find the interquartile range (IQR) using box plots. He introduces the concept of IQR, which represents the spread of the middle 50% of data. The video demonstrates how to calculate the IQR by subtracting the first quartile from the third quartile, using a student's math test scores as an example. The IQR is calculated to be 6, indicating the range of the middle 50% of scores. The video concludes with a brief mention of additional resources for learning more about box plots.
