Problem # Quartiles Position of Quartiles Value of Quartiles

This document provides instructions for constructing a boxplot from a data set. It explains how to calculate the quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3) and interquartile range (IQR) from the data and use these values to determine the minimum, maximum, and outlier cutoff points needed to draw the boxplot. The instructions also prompt the user to analyze the boxplot once constructed to assess the distribution's symmetry and homogeneity.
