2. Minimum = 24

3. The 1st quartile is 27

4. The median is or the 2nd quartile 34

5. The 3rd quartile is 33

The data is summarized in the attached box plot

Step-by-step explanation:

24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 34, 34

From the given data, we have the five values of a box and whisker plot as follows;

1. Maximum = 34

2. Minimum = 24

3. The 1st quartile is the $\frac{9 + 1}{4} th$ term or 27

4. The median (2nd quartile) is the $\frac{9 + 1}{2} th$ term or 34

5. The 3rd quartile is the $\frac{3(9 + 1)}{4} th$ term or 33

Hence the attached box plot summarizes the data.
