  5. Arrow down to the first box whisker plot Type and select ENTER
  6. Make sure Xlist has the list name you used to store your data
  7. Go to WINDOW and make sure your Xmin = 40, XMAX=64, Xscl=5
  8. GRAPH
  9. TRACE and the arrow right takes you to the Min, Q1, Median, Q3 and Max

Min = 43, Q1 = 46, Median = 51, Q3 = 58, Max = 62
