This measure of variability describes the range of values that the middle 50% of the shoe sizes fall within. It provides information about the spread of the data within the interquartile range, specifically from the 25th percentile to the 75th percentile. In this case, it tells us that the shoe sizes for the middle half of the players are within 1.5 shoe sizes of each other.
