You cannot, unless they are all outliers, and the plot records outliers separately.
The whiskers mark the ends of the range of figures - they are the furthest outliers. * * * * * No. Outliers are not part of a box and whiskers plot. The whiskers mark the ends of the minimum and maximum observations EXCLUDING outliers. Outliers, if any, are marked with an X.
Assuming no outliers, the two are the lowest (left-most) and the highest (right-most) values of the whiskers (not wiskers).
Go into your data to determine which values are outliers and if they're significant and random (not an apparent group), eliminate them. This will take them out of your boxplot.
THe maximum observed (excluding any outliers).

When John Turkey was inventing the box-and-whisker plot in 1977 to display these values, he picked 1.5*IQR (inter-quartile range) as the demarcation line for outliers. This has worked so well, so we've continued using that value ever since.

to organize your data set and figure out mean, median, mode, range, and outliers.
Outliers on a modified box plot will be noted away from the ends of the whiskers, as they are not considered part of the range, due to the fact that they are so different from the rest of the data. In a regular box plot, the lowest value, whether it is an outlier or not, will be the beginning of the 1st whisker, the highest value, whether an outlier or not will be the end of the 2nd whisker.
Yes. The exception arises when you have outliers.
It i the smallest value in the data set and corresponds to the value of the left-most end of the whisker. Unless there were outliers, in which case it will be an "X" to the left of the left-whisker.
The box and whisker plot informs you of the 5 number summary, which comprises of the minimum and maximum, the median, and the first and third quartiles. The minumum and maximum give you the range, which is not given by measures of central tendancy. also, if it a modified box and whisker plot, outliers will be marked separatley from the rest of the plot, outliers are also not included in the measures of center.
