Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Midspread, also known as the interquartile range (IQR), is calculated using only the middle 50% of the data, specifically the difference between the 75th percentile (Q3) and the 25th percentile (Q1). It is not affected by extreme values, making it different from the range (choice B), and it is a measure of spread or dispersion, not location (choice A).
