First sort the data:
123, 125, 125, 125, 126, 127, 127, 128, 128, 129

Range = max − min = 129 − 123 = 6 (degrees).

n = 10 (even), median = (5th+6th)/2 = (126+127)/2 = 126.5.
Lower half = 123,125,125,125,126 → Q1 = middle = 125.
Upper half = 127,127,128,128,129 → Q3 = middle = 128.

Interquartile range (IQR) = Q3 − Q1 = 128 − 125 = 3 (degrees).
