i.   \(\text{Range}\ = 7 \)

ii.   \(\text{IQR}\ = \text{Q}_3-\text{Q}_1 = 6-1=5 \)

Show Worked Solution

i.   \(\text{Range}\ = 7-0=7 \)
  

ii.   
         

\begin{array} {|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex} \ \text{Min} \ \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} &\ \ \text{Q}_1 \ \ \ &\ \ \text{Q}_2 \ \ \ &\ \ \text{Q}_3 \ \ \ & \  \text{Max} \ \\
\hline
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex}  0 \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} & 1 & 4 & 6 & 7 \\
\hline
\end{array}

\(\text{IQR}\ = \text{Q}_3-\text{Q}_1 = 6-1=5 \)
