Identify the components of a box plot

Using the Box Plot Analysis knowledge point
\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Minimum} = 2\\ &\text{Lower Quartile } (Q_1) = 3\\ &\text{Median } (Q_2) = 5\\ &\text{Upper Quartile } (Q_3) = 6\\ &\text{Maximum} = 8 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Determine the upper quartile

Using the Box Plot Analysis knowledge point
\[
\text{Upper Quartile } (Q_3) = 6
\]
