The whiskers are the same length.
The whiskers are the same length.

The right whisker is much longer than the left whisker.
The right whisker is much longer than the left whisker.

The 5 numbers in the summary are equally spread apart.
The 5 numbers in the summary are equally spread apart.

The median is exactly in the middle of the box.

Answer 1

Five-number summary: Min = 15, Q1 = 16, Median = 18, Q3 = 19, Max = 29.

Reason the dataset is skewed: The right whisker is much longer than the left whisker (Q3→Max = 29−19 = 10 vs Min→Q1 = 16−15 = 1), indicating right (positive) skew.
