Solution Steps

Step 1: Sort the Data Set

The sorted data set is: [3, 8, 14, 19, 22, 29, 33, 37, 43, 49].

Step 2: Calculate Q1

The first quartile (Q1) is calculated as the median of the lower half of the data set. For our data set, Q1 is 14.

Step 3: Calculate Q3

The third quartile (Q3) is calculated as the median of the upper half of the data set. For our data set, Q3 is 37.

Step 4: Compute IQR

The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between Q3 and Q1, which is \(IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 23\).

Final Answer:

The interquartile range (IQR) of the given data set is 23.
