The correct answer is:

3. The IQR is 2.5. This means that 2.5 hours is the range of the number of hours spent on the project for the middle 50% of the students.

The IQR (Interquartile Range) is a measure of statistical dispersion, or in simpler terms, it is the range of the middle 50% of the data. In this case, the IQR of 2.5 hours indicates that the range of hours spent on the project for the middle 50% of the students is 2.5 hours. This means that half of the students spent between 1.5 and 4 hours on their project.
