Explanation:

24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 34, 34

From the given data, we have the five values of a box and whisker plot as follows;

1. Maximum = 34

2. Minimum = 24

3. The 1st quartile is the
`(9 + 1)/(4) th` term or 27

4. The median (2nd quartile) is the
`(9 + 1)/(2) th` term or 34

5. The 3rd quartile is the
`(3(9 + 1))/(4) th` term or 33

Hence the attached box plot summarizes the data.
