Answer: $454

Explanation:IQR - Interquartile range. It is a statistical dispersion which is equal to the diff between the 75th and 25th percentile. It can also be described as the diff between the upper and lower percentile.

IQR=Q3-Q1

From the range of figures listed below: 1,127, 1,482, 2,995, 3,009, 3,250, 3,250, 3,445, 3,449, 4,000, 6,120

From the list the Q1 = 2,995, while the Q3 = 3,449.

IQR = Q3-Q1

= 3,449 - 2,995

= 454
