Nabz Further Maths Question Thread

Hey guys, i need help with this question from the past 2012 Further Maths exam. It has been doing my head in because it does not make sense!

The question is: (box plot attached as photo)

The wind blew from the south for eight days.
Reading from the parallel box plots above we know that, for these eight wind speeds the
- first quartile = 2km/h
- Median = 3.5km/h
- Third quartile = 4km/h

Given that the eight wind speeds were recorded to the nearest whole number, write down the eight wind speeds.
