To find the interquartile range you will list the data in order from least to greatest.

Find the median (marked with the | - it is not one of the numbers).

Look at the left half the data and find the middle - lower quartile (underlined) and look at the right half of the data and find the middle - upper quartile

112, 119, 143, | 146, 152, 175

The distance from 119 to 152 is the IQR. Subtract them to find the value,

152 - 119 = 33

The IQR is 33.
