InterquartileRange

InterquartileRange[data]

gives the difference between the upper and lower quartiles for the elements in data.

InterquartileRange[data,{{a,b},{c,d}}]

uses the quantile definition specified by parameters a, b, c, d.

InterquartileRange[dist]

gives the difference between the upper and lower quartiles for the distribution dist.
