Answer

A woman who one best actress is older than all of the men who won best actor.

Work Step by Step

In order to create a box and whisker plot, use a box a whisker plot maker online. (To draw one by hand, draw a line, making the far left point the minimum and the far right point the maximum. Then, draw a box, where the left side of the box is $Q_1$ and where the right side of the box is $Q_3$. Finally draw a vertical line through the box: this is your median.) However, with a modified box and whisker plot, the outliers are graphed on the line separately instead of being included in the data set. As a result, when the outliers are graphed, we see that there is actually a woman that is older than all of the men who won best actor.
