Answer:

The IQR of mid-terme exams is the largest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the IQR of Mid-Term exams

Considering the Mid term numbers

[tex]100\:100\:100\:95\:95\:92\:92\:88\:85\:75[/tex]

Median [tex]=\frac{95+92}{2}[/tex]

             [tex]=\frac{187}{2}[/tex]

             = [tex]93.5[/tex]

As the first quarter = [tex]Q1[/tex] = [tex]100\:100\:100\:95[/tex]

Median of first quarter = [tex]\frac{\left(100\:+\:100\right)}{2}[/tex]

                                      [tex]= 100[/tex]

Third quarter = [tex]Q3[/tex] = [tex]92\:88\:85\:75[/tex]

Median of third quarter [tex]=\frac{88+85}{2}[/tex]

                                       [tex]=86.5[/tex]

As we know that

Interquartile range (IQR) can be computed by subtracting Q3 from Q1.

So,

IQR of mid-term exams = [tex]86.5 - 100[/tex]

                                         = [tex]-13.5[/tex]

Calculating the IQR of Final exams

Considering the Final term numbers

[tex]98\:95\:93\:91\:88\:82\:78\:78\:65\:60[/tex]

Median [tex]=\frac{88+82}{2}[/tex]

             [tex]=85[/tex]

As the first quarter = [tex]Q1[/tex] = [tex]98\:95\:91\:88[/tex]

Median of first quarter = [tex]\frac{\left(95\:+\:91\right)}{2}[/tex]

                                      = [tex]93[/tex]

Third quarter = [tex]Q3[/tex] = [tex]78\:78\:65\:60[/tex]

Median of third quarter [tex]=\frac{78+65}{2}[/tex]

                                        = [tex]71.5[/tex]

Interquartile range (IQR) can be computed by subtracting Q3 from Q1.

So,

IQR of final-term exams = [tex]71.5 -93[/tex]

                                         = [tex]-21.5[/tex]

Therefore, the IQR of mid-term exams is the largest.
