The box-and-whisker plot for the data can be seen in the attachment.
The data given to us is:
50, 51, 54, 55, 57, 61, 62, 63, 65, 66, 67, 68, 71, 71, 76, 76, 77.
As the data is already ordered from least to greatest, we can apply the formulas.
The sample size, n = 17.
Start point = 50.
First quartile, Q1 = (n + 1)/4 th observation = (17 + 1)/4 th observation = 18/4 th observation = 4.5 th observation = average of the 4th and the 5th observation = (55 + 57)/2 = 112/2 = 56.
Median, Q2 = (n + 1)/2 th observation = (17 + 1)/2 th observation = 18/2 th observation = 9th observation = 65.
Third quartile, Q3 = 3(n + 1)/4 th observation = 3(17 + 1)/4 th observation = 3*18/4 th observation = 54/4 th observation = 13.5 th observation = average of the 13th and the 14th observation = (71 + 71)/2 = 142/2 = 71.
End point = 77.
Thus, the box-and-whisker plot should be designed as follows:
The start of the first whisker is from 50, representing the start point.
The start of the box is from 56, representing the first quartile.
The line inside the box is at 65, representing the median.
The end of the box is at 71, representing the third quartile.
The end of the whisker is at 77, representing the endpoint.
