Which data points are represented by the dots at 5 and 9.5?
A box and whisker plot is shown. A number line graph with a green rectangle extending from 5 to 9.5 above the line. There is a green dot at each end of the rectangle. There is a vertical line inside the rectangle at 8 with a red dot on it. There are black dots to the right and left of the green rectangle at 4 and 10. These black dots are connected to the green dots at their end of the green rectangle with black line segments.

In a box and whisker plot, the green rectangle typically represents the interquartile range (IQR), which spans from the lower quartile (Q1) to the upper quartile (Q3). The dots at the ends of the rectangle (5 and 9.5 in this case) represent the lower and upper quartiles, respectively.
Based on your description, the correct response about the data points represented by the dots at 5 and 9.5 is:
medians of lower and upper quartiles
