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 80

Answer 1

To determine the percentage of data values that are greater than or equal to 65, we need to look at the box-and-whisker plot.

Since the box-and-whisker plot is not provided, we can make a general analysis. In a box-and-whisker plot, the left side of the box represents the 25th percentile (Q1), the middle line of the box represents the 50th percentile (Q2 or median), and the right side of the box represents the 75th percentile (Q3). The whiskers represent the minimum and maximum values of the data set, and any outliers may be depicted as individual points outside of the whiskers.

If the 75th percentile (Q3) is at 80, this means that 75% of the data values are less than or equal to 80. Therefore, 100% - 75% = 25% of the data values are greater than 80.

Since 65 falls somewhere between Q1 and Q3, we can deduce that the percentage of data values greater than or equal to 65 is greater than 25%, but without further information on the distribution, it is not possible to provide an exact percentage.
