Another line extends from the right side of the second box to 29.

Answer 1

Answer: The box plot displays the wrong quartile values.

Explanation: For 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29 the quartiles are Q1 = 21, median = 24, Q3 = 27. The plot shows Q1 = 22 and Q3 = 26, so the quartiles are incorrect (min and max and median are correct).
