Answer:

  D (compute the mean)

Step-by-step explanation:

A box plot is a visual representation of the 5-number summary of a set of data. It is plotted against a number line.

The 5-number summary of the data set is most easily determined from an ordered set of the data, so ordering the data is usually the first step. Since the 5-number summary is plotted against a number line, the next steps are finding the 5-number summary, and creating a suitable number line.

__

The business of adding the data and dividing by the number of data items is a description of computing the mean of the data. That value is not part of the 5-number summary, and is not needed in the creation of the box plot.
