Answer:

B. 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between the third and first quartile (Q3 - Q1).

In a data set of 10 students, the first quartile is determined as the median of the first 5 numbers:

45 57 63 79 84

Q1 = 63

The third quartile is determined as the median of the last 5 numbers:

92 99 105 117 145

Q3 = 105

The interquartile range (IQR) is:

[tex]IQR = Q3 - Q1\\IQR = 105 - 63 = 42[/tex]

The answer is B. 42.
