original :
(45,65,70,80,85,100)
Q1 = 65
Q2 = (70 + 80) / 2 = 150/2 = 75
Q3 = 85
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 85 - 65 = 20

new :
(65,70,80,85)
Q1 = (65 + 70)/2 = 135/2 = 67.5
Q2 = (70 + 80) / 2 = 75
Q3 = (80 + 85) / 2 = 165/2 = 82.5
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 82.5 - 67.5 = 15

IQR of original = 20 <=====
IQR of new = 15 <=====

Answer:

interquartile range of original data:20

                                    New data:15

Step-by-step explanation:

The original data is given as:

45   65   70   80   85   100.

lower quartile([tex]Q_{1}[/tex])=65

median of data([tex]Q_{2}[/tex])=(70+80)/2=75

upper quartile([tex]Q_{3}[/tex])=85

interquartile  range=[tex]Q_{3}[/tex]-[tex]Q_{1}[/tex]

                                =85-65=20

The changed data is given as:

65   70   80   85

lower quartile([tex]Q_{1}[/tex])=(65+70)/2=67.5

median([tex]Q_{2}[/tex])=(70+80)/2=75

upper quartile([tex]Q_{3}[/tex])=(80+85)/2=82.5

interquartile range=[tex]Q_{3}[/tex]-[tex]Q_{1}[/tex]

                               =82.5-67.5=15.
