Read the explanation because it's pretty long...
Explanation:
It would be easiest to first order the numbers in ascending order. You would find the median of the numbers; that's your middle, so plot that point on the graph and draw a vertical line. Then, take the lower half and find the median of that; draw a vertical line over a number line on that value. Then find the median of the top half and draw another vertical line. Connect the tops and bottoms of the lines. Now you now have your box:) To finish, plot your smallest value and connect that with a line and plot the largest point and connect that with another line.
