Answer

Minimum = 188 Maximum = 589 Median = 339 $Q_{1}$ = 192 $Q_{3}$ = 437 IQR = 245

Work Step by Step

Arranging the values in ascending order, we have: Minimum = 188 Maximum = 589 Median is the average of middle values = (316+362)/2 = 339 $Q_{1}$ is the median of values below median or at 25% of values, hence: $Q_{1}$ = 192 $Q_{3}$ is the median of values above median or at 75% of values, hence: $Q_{3}$ = 437 IQR = $Q_{3} - Q_{1} = 437 - 192 = 245$
