--------|-----------------|-------|-----------------------

28, 34, 55, 63, 98
We are given the 5-number summary, or minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.
The minimum is the lowest data value, so it's 28.

The first quartile is at 25% of the data, or the "median" of the lower half of data, which is 34.

The median is the middle number, or 55.

The third quartile is at 75% of the data, or the "median" of the upper half of data, which is 63.

Finally, the maximum is the highest data value, so it's 98.

Hope this helps!
