Time Intervals in box plot?

Is it possible to plot a box plot with time intervals (eg. 6-8, 8-10, etc.)?

How do I plot this?? Using the two columns of data with the intervals and frequency doesn't make sense to me considering a box plot only usually has one set of data, otherwise there will be two different box plots. Please help!! thankyou :))

I wouldn't think so with an interval because a box plot is a 5 number summary and if you try on the calculator, you cannot. However, I would assume frequencies and intervals to be a histogram

Yeah you can't use a box plot for that because the time intervals are categories.
