Answer: You should chose the box and whiskers graph that matches the explanation below.

First, you need put all of the values in order. This will show you that you have a graph that goes from 33 to 54 for the range.

Next, the middle (median) of the plot will be at the value 47.5 since that is the middle of our set of data.

Finally, you need to look at the ends of the box. On the left end, the value would be 38 because that is the middle of the lower high. On the upper half, the middle value will be 51.

Using this information, you can select the correct plot.
