"The interquartile range is not affected by outlier values."
Explanation: IQR measures spread of the middle 50% (Q3−Q1), so extreme values have little or no effect. The IQR does not describe the spread of the entire dataset, the range is highly sensitive to outliers, and smaller IQR/range indicate less (not more) spread.
