You use the definition of median and interquartile range. The def. of a median is the number in the middle of the data set, so the number 6 would be in the middle. Making a box and whisker plot(shown below) with the data set separates the data set into 4 "quartiles" or parts. The interquartile range is the last line in the box(Q3) minus the first line in the box(Q1). So something minus somthing must equal 5.
Data set: 1,2,3,6,8,8,10
It doesn't matter what the other numbers are as long as the median is 6 and the interquartiel range is 6.
