The distribution of the tanks' water temperatures is best described as **skewed** (if it has a tail on one side) or **uniform** (if all temperatures are similar) or **bimodal** (if there are two peaks) depending on what the histogram shows.
So, the **interquartile range** is a more appropriate measure of variation than the **range**.
This is because the interquartile range is less affected by outliers and gives a better sense of the central tendency of the middle 50% of the data.
