Answer:

Explanation:

Given the five number summary which are all displayed on a box and whisker plot :

Maximum = 48

Minimum = 27

Median = 36

Upper Quartile = 45

Lower quartile = 32

Maximum and minimum values are displayed by the whiskers :

Starting point of whisker = minimum value

End point of whisker = maximum value

The quartiles are displayed by the box :

Starting point of the box = lower quartile

End point of the box = upper quartile

Line in between the box = Median
