What is a box plot?

A box plot provides the summary of a data using the five number summary that is minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and maximum.

From the diagram, the third quartile is 54 years. Hence 75% of the employees are between 35 to 57 years.

25% are older than 54 years, hence:

Employers older than 54 years = 25% of 23 employees = 5.75

About 5 employees have ages that are older than 54 years.
