An illustration shows a number line ranging from 91 to 99 in increments of 1. A boxplot is placed above the number line. The box is divided into two sections. The first box extends from 93 to 95 and the second box extends from 95 to 97. A line extends from 91 to the left side of the first box. Another line extends from the right side of the second box to 99.
What is the median of the box plot?

The median of a box plot is found at the dividing line within the box itself. In the boxplot described, the boxes indicate two sections. The first box extends from 93 to 95, and the second box extends from 95 to 97. The line that divides the two sections indicates the median.
Since the first box stops at 95 and the second box starts at 95, the median is at the value of 95. Therefore, the median of the box plot is:
95
