GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct interpretation is: **Stock B has more variability than Stock A.** The interquartile range (IQR) measures the spread of the middle 50% of data points. A larger IQR indicates more variability in the stock prices. Since Stock B has an IQR of 11 and Stock A has an IQR of 3, it indicates that the prices of Stock B are more spread out compared to those of Stock A.
