City: Baltimore, Maryland

Average High Temperatures (in Fahrenheit) for Each Month:
- January: 42
- February: 45
- March: 51
- April: 63
- May: 73
- June: 83
- July: 87
- August: 85
- September: 79
- October: 68
- November: 57
- December: 46

Box-and-Whisker Plot:
The plot shows a range from 42°F to 87°F, with a median temperature of approximately 70°F.

a. Median temperature: 70°F
b. 75% of the temperatures are below 85°F. This can be determined by looking at the upper quartile (Q3) value of 85°F on the box-and-whisker plot.
c. 75% of the temperatures are above 44°F. This can be determined by looking at the lower quartile (Q1) value of 44°F on the box-and-whisker plot.
d. Based on the data, it can be concluded that the temperatures in Maryland vary throughout the year, with generally cooler temperatures in the winter months and warmer temperatures in the summer months. Additionally, a majority of the temperatures fall within the range of 44°F to 85°F, with a median temperature of 70°F.
