To determine the percentage of students who raised more than $40, you would typically need to analyze the box plot data, which I cannot see directly. However, you can follow these steps based on standard interpretations of box plots:
1. Identify the median (the line inside the box) to see how many students are above and below this value.
2. Examine the lower quartile (Q1) and the upper quartile (Q3) to see the spread of the data.
3. Students raising more than $40 typically correspond to those in the upper half of the data, depending on the specific values illustrated in the box plot.
Assuming the median of the box plot is below $40, then the majority of students would be making more than $40. If the median lies above $40, that indicates that at least half raised more than this value.
If you have additional information, like the specific numbers represented on the box plot, I can help you calculate the exact percent. Otherwise, you could visually assess the box plot yourself:
- Count the total number of students represented.
- Count how many are above the $40 mark.
- Divide the number of students who raised more than $40 by the total number of students and multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
If you provide the specific number of students or quartiles if available, I can assist further with the calculation!
