i think we can do this

anonymous · Answer

median is 22

anonymous · Answer

how:)

anonymous · Answer

the numbers are in order, take the middle one
that is not the answer though, we still have more work to do

anonymous · Answer

ok:)

anonymous · Answer

there are 5 numbers to the right of the median
they are 
22, 24, 26, 28, 29

anonymous · Answer

then take the median of those
you get 26

anonymous · Answer

the "box" part goes from the median of the bottom five numbers, to the median of the top five

anonymous · Answer

according to purplemath anyway
then come the whiskers
so 29 would be joined to 26

i do not guarantee this answer, i just looked it up
never in my life have i made a box and whisker plot

try 26
