--------|-----------------|-------|-----------------------

#28, 34, 55, 63, 98#
We are given the 5-number summary, or minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.
The minimum is the lowest data value, so it's #28#.

The first quartile is at #25%# of the data, or the "median" of the lower half of data, which is #34#.

The median is the middle number, or #55#.

The third quartile is at #75%# of the data, or the "median" of the upper half of data, which is #63#.

Finally, the maximum is the highest data value, so it's #98#.

Hope this helps!
