The IQR is 1.5. This means that the shoe sizes for the middle half of the players are within 1.5 shoe sizes of each other.
This statement accurately describes how the IQR (Interquartile Range) measures the variability within a dataset by showing the range where half of the values lie in relation to the median. In this case, the IQR of 1.5 indicates that the shoe sizes for the middle 50% of the players are within 1.5 shoe sizes of each other.
