Given that t he mean lifespan of a sylvania light bulb is 1600 hours with a standard deviation of 300 hours, an iqr of 450 hours, and a range of 690 hours. the lifespan distribution is relatively symmetric.

Since, the distribution is relatively symmetric, the measure of spread that is the best measurement is the standard deviation.
