Step 1 :Sort the data in ascending order: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 18].
Step 2 :Find the first quartile (Q1), which is 3.25.
Step 3 :Find the third quartile (Q3), which is 10.25.
Step 4 :Calculate the interquartile range (IQR) by subtracting Q1 from Q3: \(10.25 - 3.25 = 7.0\).
Step 5 :Final Answer: The interquartile range of the data set is \(\boxed{7}\).
