# What does each number on the following box and whisker plot represent?: --------|-----------------|-------|----------------------- 28 34 55 63 98?

Jul 29, 2018

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

$28 , 34 , 55 , 63 , 98$
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!

Here are the numbers on the boxplot given:
