To find the range of the data represented by the box plot, we need to look at the values of the minimum and maximum points. The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

From the box plot:

- The **minimum value** (smallest value on the left whisker) is at **4**.
- The **maximum value** (largest value on the right whisker) is at **24**.

Thus, the **range** of the data is:

\[
\text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 24 - 4 = 20
\]

The range of the data is **20**.

1. How do quartiles relate to a box plot?
2. What is the interquartile range (IQR) and how is it calculated from this plot?
3. Can the median be determined from the box plot?
4. How would the presence of outliers affect the box plot and the range?
5. What are the advantages of using a box plot to visualize data?

**Tip:** The range only measures the spread between the extremes of the data, but it doesn't give insight into how data is distributed between those extremes. For that, the interquartile range (IQR) is useful!
