APFIVE Parallel boxplots are used to display the daily prices of a certain stock over a five-year period from 2017 to 2021. The median price increased steadily from approximately $$58$$ in 2017 to $$78$$ in 2021. The third quartile (Q3) remained at approximately $$84$$. The minimum price did not decrease from one year to the next, and the interquartile range (IQR) either remained stable or decreased over the period. All of the following statements are supported by this information EXCEPT:
