Define QU

The upper​ quartile, QU​, is the 75th percentile of a data set.

Can the variance of a data set ever be​ negative? Explain. Can the variance ever be smaller than the standard​ deviation? Explain.

The variance of a data set cannot be negative because it is the sum of the squared deviations divided by a positive value. Variance can be smaller than the standard deviation if the variance is less than 1.
