The median is between Q1 and Q3 and is the same as Q2. These are the same as 25%, 50% and 75% so the median is in the middle of the box in a box and whisker plot.

If the data are quantitative they must have a median. If there is no median it is only because the data are qualitative and, in that case, a box and whiskers plot is meaningless.
Min- the lowest value Q1- the median number between the actual median and the min Median- the "middle" number in the dataset Q3- the median number between the actual median and the max Max- the highest value
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.
how about you tell me what a misleading box and whisker plot is first and then ill answer ur question ;)
The lower quartile is the line that represents the left-hand edge of the "box", in the box and whisker plot.
