Directrix (directrix):

Look at the attached graphic of a generic box plot. See where the median is on the graphic. Then, look at your box plot and find the median.

Directrix (directrix):

When you find the median mark, then look at the number line below the plot to get the value of the median.

Directrix (directrix):

Correct.

wow thanks that was easier than I thought. When I first saw the question I was like wow that just looks like a bunch of numbers and a box

That is pretty much what it is. It is called a 5 number summary of data drawn as a "box plot."
