Answer 1

Rosie - Calculate the min, max, lower quartile, upper quartile, and the median. Use these 5 statistics to plot.

For this problem, I'm going to assume you know how to calculate the 5-number summary: minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and maximum (also known as `Q_0, Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, Q_4`, respectively.

For this problem:

`Q_0=5, Q_1= 8, Q_2=10, Q_3=17, Q_4=19`

Here is the whisker plot:
