B.

If there are extreme values in the set of data

Range
Extreme values in a set of data will significantly increase the range of the set of data.
Interquartile range
Extreme values in a set of data will have little or no effect on the interquartile range.
Variance and Standard Deviation
Extreme values also significantly increase the value of standard deviation and variance but
standard deviation is affected to a smaller degree as compare to variance.

C.

If certain values are added or removed

When a value is added or removed from a set of data, the effect on the measures of dispersion is
uncertain. In general, the range and the interquartile range are less affected as compared to the
variance and the standard deviation. Variance and standard deviation are more significantly
affected when the added or removed value has a greater difference from the mean.
Activity:
(a) The interquartile range and the standard deviation of a set of data are 5 and 2.5. Find the new
interquartile range and standard deviation if every value of the data is divided by 2 followed
