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

Range = max − min = 129 − 123 = 6.

With 10 observations, split into two halves:
Lower half: 123, 125, 125, 125, 126 → Q1 = median = 125
Upper half: 127, 127, 128, 128, 129 → Q3 = median = 128

Interquartile range = Q3 − Q1 = 128 − 125 = 3.
