Answer:

A box plot is drawn with end points at 24 and 49.The box extends from 28 to 44 and a vertical line is drawn inside the box at 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordering the data given :

24,28,32,34,40,44,49

We can calculate the 5 number summary required to give the appropriate boxplot that can be produced :

Minimum = 24

Maximum = 49

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term

n = 7

Median = 1/2(8) = 4th term

Median = 34

Lower quartile, Q1 = 1/4(n+1)th term

n = 7

1/4(8) = 2nd term

Q1 = 28

Upper quartile : 3/4(n+1)th term

n = 7

Q3 = 3/4(8) = 6th term

Q3= 44
