The data represents the number of runners on each team in the district; 12, 15, 15, 17, 19, 19, 20, 22, 24. Which box and whisker plot correctly summarizes the data?

The correct box and whisker plot would have the following key features:
- The lowest value is 12, which would be represented as a point on the lower end of the plot.
- The quartiles would be at 15 (Q1), 19 (Q2 - median), and 22 (Q3).
- The interquartile range would be from 15 to 22.
- The highest value is 24, which would be represented as a point on the higher end of the plot.
Therefore, the box and whisker plot should show a box from 15 to 22 with a line inside at 19, and "whiskers" extending from 12 to 15 and from 22 to 24.
