The box plot contains a box and 5 points:

  1. 1st point is the left endpoint (the smallest number);
  2. 5th point is the right endpoint (the greatest number);
  3. 2nd point is [tex]Q_1[/tex] - first quartile;
  4. 3rd point is [tex]Q_2[/tex] - second quartile = median;
  5. 4th point is [tex]Q_3[/tex] - third quartile.

Then the median is $50,  and [tex]Q_3-Q_1=\$65-\$20=\$45.[/tex]

Answer: $50; $45.
