Answer 1

To make a box and whisker plot, you need to draw a number line that would be able to represent all the values in the data (look at your lowest and highest numbers).

You will need to graph the following 5 points on your number line (median, lower quartile, lower extreme, upper quartile, and upper extreme).

Create a box around the quartiles and extend the lines to the extremes.

See the picture I have attached for the box and whisker box for this data set.
