The interquartile range (IQR) measures the spread of the middle 50% of values. So for Stock A the middle 50% of prices span 3 units (more tightly clustered), while for Stock B they span 11 units (much more spread out). Therefore Stock B’s central prices are more variable/volatile and Stock A’s are more consistent.
