Answer

The best actors are older than the best actresses.

Work Step by Step

In order to create a box and whisker plot, we use a box and a whisker plot maker online. (To draw one by hand, we draw a line, making the far left point the minimum and the far right point the maximum. Then, we draw a box, where the left side of the box is $Q_1$ and the right side of the box is $Q_3$. Finally we draw a vertical line through the box: this is will be the median.) After doing this, we can see that the box for the best actors is further right than the box for the best actresses, hence the best actors are generally older than the best actresses.
