To find this question, you first should put your data values in order from least to greatest. Doing so would look like this:
3, 39, 39, 40, 46, 48, 60, 62, 62
Now find the median, the middle number. This would be 46. This would also be the middle point on your box and whisker plot. Looking at your answer choices, the only one that has the middle point at 46 is the last one. So that is your answer.
The answer should be 8+[(2^2)+3]-5
Hope this helps!
