The box-and-whisker plot below represents some data set. What percentage of the data values are greater than or equal to 65? 0 25 50 75 100

1 answer

To determine the percentage of data values that are greater than or equal to 65, we can look at the box-and-whisker plot. In a box-and-whisker plot, the box represents the middle 50% of the data, so values outside of the box are the remaining 50%.

Since the median is represented by the line inside the box, we can see that 50% of the data values are less than or equal to the median. This means that the remaining 50% of the data values are greater than or equal to the median.

Looking at the plot, we can see that the median line is at 75, which means that 50% of the data values are less than or equal to 75. Since we want to find the percentage of data values that are greater than or equal to 65, we know that all values greater than or equal to 75 are also greater than or equal to 65.

So, 50% of the data values are greater than or equal to 65.
