Answer

\(\boxed{Q1 = 19.99, Q2 = 24.27, Q3 = 28.99, IQR = 9.00}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Sort the data in ascending order: \(13.95, 19.99, 23.95, 24.59, 28.99, 29.98\)

Step 2 :Find the first quartile (Q1): \(19.99\)

Step 3 :Find the median (Q2): \(\frac{23.95 + 24.59}{2} = 24.27\)

Step 4 :Find the third quartile (Q3): \(28.99\)

Step 5 :Calculate the interquartile range (IQR): \(28.99 - 19.99 = 9.00\)

Step 6 :\(\boxed{Q1 = 19.99, Q2 = 24.27, Q3 = 28.99, IQR = 9.00}\)
