A box-and-whisker plot is shown.A number line is shown with numbers labeled from 0 to 100 with a step size of 5. A box-and whisker plot is shown above the number line. The box-and-whisker plot has dots approximately above the numbers 18, 40, 55, 62, and 94. A line segments connects the dots above 18 and 40, and another line segment connects the dots above 62 and 94. A rectangle is shown above the number line with the dot above 40 on its left edge and the dot above 62 on its right edge. A vertical line through the dot above 55 divides the rectangle into two parts.
