Use the image to answer the question.

A vertical number line representing the number of push-ups ranges from 0 to 22 in increments of 2. A box plot to the right of the number line shows the following: the minimum value is 0; the maximum value is 21; the lower quartile is 6; the median value is 10; and the upper quartile is 14.

The box plot represents the number of push-ups a group of 6th graders were able to do. Approximately what percentage of 6th graders did fewer than 6 push-ups?

Answer 1

To determine what percentage of 6th graders did fewer than 6 push-ups, you can look at the information provided by the box plot.

In the box plot:
- The minimum value is 0
- The lower quartile is 6

This means that the lowest 25% of the data (the lower quartile) is at 6 push-ups or below. Since the minimum value is 0, it can be inferred that approximately 25% of 6th graders did fewer than 6 push-ups.

Therefore, approximately 25% of 6th graders did fewer than 6 push-ups.
