To find the range of the quiz scores from a box-and-whisker plot, you need to use the maximum and minimum values of the data set.

The range is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} \]

From the values you've provided, it seems the minimum score is 15 and the maximum score is 33.

Using these values:

\[ \text{Range} = 33 - 15 = 18 \]

Therefore, the range of the quiz scores is 18 points.
