The amount of money that college students spend on rent each month is usually between $300 and $600. however, there are a few students who spend $1,300. what measure of spread would be most appropriate to measure the amount of money that college students spend on rent per month?
a. median
b. range
c. standard deviation
d. interquartile range

D. interquartile range

Step-by-step explanation:

Range and interquartile range both measures of the spread of data.

When data has no outlier , then the range is the best to measure the spread of data.

When data has outlier , then the interquartile range is the best to measure the spread of data because range gets affected by outliers  .

Given : The amount of money that college students spend on rent each month is usually between $300 and $600. However, there are a few students who spend $1,300.

$1,300 is an extreme value (outlier) as compare to the given range.

Hence, the measure of spread would be most appropriate to measure the amount of money that college students spend on rent per month = " interquartile range"
