To find the median from a box-and-whisker plot, you typically look at the line that divides the box into two parts. This line represents the median (the 50th percentile) of the data.

However, since I cannot see the box-and-whisker plot you are referring to, I can guide you through the process:

  1. Identify the box: The box in the box-and-whisker plot represents the interquartile range (IQR), with the lower edge marking the 1st quartile (Q1) and the upper edge marking the 3rd quartile (Q3).

  2. Locate the median line: Within the box, there will be a line that divides it. This line signifies the median of the dataset.

  3. Read the value off the plot: The value of this line will give you the median quiz score.

If you have specific values or the ability to describe the plot more, I can help you determine the median score more accurately. But if you have the box-and-whisker plot available, just check the median line as described above.
