The interquartile range (IQR) is the range of the middle 50% of the scores in a distribution. It is computed as follows: IQR = 75th percentile - 25th percentile. For Quiz 1, the 75th percentile is 8 and the 25th percentile is 6.he interquartile range is therefore 2. For Quiz 2, which has greater spread, the 75th percentile is 9, the 25th percentile is 5, and the interquartile range is 4. Recall that in the discussion of box plots, the 75th percentile was called the upper hinge and the 25th percentile was called the lower hinge.
