Explanation:

Step1: Understand box plot components

In a box plot, the whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values. The right whisker's end (the rightmost vertical line) represents the maximum.

Step2: Identify the maximum from the plot

Looking at the number line, the rightmost whisker end is at 85 (by observing the scale: each small tick or the position of the right whisker's end relative to 80 and 100, and the plot's rightmost mark). Wait, actually, looking at the plot, the right whisker's end (the vertical line) is at 85? Wait, no, let's check the scale. The x - axis has 0,20,40,60,80,100. The right whisker's end (the vertical line) is at 85? Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the box plot's right whisker's end (the maximum) is at 85? Wait, no, looking at the plot, the rightmost vertical line (the end of the right whisker) is at 85? Wait, actually, let's see the scale. From 80, each small tick: if 80 to 100 is 20 units, divided into, say, 4 ticks (each 5 units). So 80, 85, 90, 95, 100. The right whisker's end is at 85? Wait, no, maybe the plot's right whisker end is at 85? Wait, no, let's re - examine. The box plot: the right whisker has a vertical line (the maximum) at 85? Wait, actually, in the given plot, the rightmost vertical line (the end of the right whisker) is at 85. Wait, but maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the x - axis: 0,20,40,60,80,100. The right whisker's end (the maximum) is at 85? Wait, no, perhaps the correct maximum is 85? Wait, no, let's check again. The box plot's right whisker extends to the maximum value. The rightmost vertical line (the end of the right whisker) is at 85. Wait, maybe the scale is such that each small division is 5. So from 80, the next is 85, then 90, etc. So the maximum value is 85? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the original plot: the right whisker's end (the vertical line) is at 85. So the maximum value of the data is 85. Wait, but let's confirm. In a box plot, the maximum is the value at the end of the right whisker. So looking at the plot, the right whisker's end (the vertical line) is at 85. So the maximum value is 85.

Answer:

85
