  1. Identify Measure: Identify the measure that indicates variation in data.\newlineThe interquartile range (IQR) measures the spread of the middle 50%50\% of data, indicating variation.
  2. Review Choices: Review the choices to find which corresponds to the IQR. The IQR given is 305305 meters, which matches choice (B)(B).
