Slide 3 - Level 1: What is IQR?
- Measure of statistical dispersion (spread of data)
- Difference between 75th percentile (Q3) and 25th percentile (Q1)
- Also called: midspread, middle 50%, fourth spread, H-spread
- Robust: ignores 25% outliers on each end

Slide 4 - Box Plot: IQR Visualized
- Q1: Lower quartile (25th percentile)
- Q2: Median (50th percentile)
- Q3: Upper quartile (75th percentile)
- IQR = Q3 - Q1: The box shows middle 50%

Slide 5 - Boss Fight: Calculate IQR
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Sort the dataset |
| 2 | Find median (Q2) - split into lower/upper halves |
| 3 | Q1: median of lower half (25th percentile) |
| 4 | Q3: median of upper half (75th percentile) |
| 5 | IQR = Q3 - Q1 |

Slide 7 - Game Challenge: Dataset Example
| Sorted Data | Position | |
|---|---|---|
| 1,3,5,6,7 | 8 | 9,10,12,15,20 |
| Q1=5 (median lower) | ||
| Q3=12 (median upper) | ||
| IQR = 12 - 5 = 7 | Middle 50% spread |
