Go over to the online box-and-whisker plot calculator at the link: http://easycalculation.com/statistics/box-plot-grapher.php Copy and paste your numbers into the calculator and take a look at the third quartile. I thought the answer might be 14 but then wondered where the 16 went. You may need to make a hand sketch or think about where the 16 is.
