To determine the percentage of days with 5 or less millimeters of rainfall based on a box and whisker plot, you'll need to analyze the plot's details.
A box and whisker plot typically displays the following key points:
- The lower whisker (minimum)
- The lower quartile (Q1, 25th percentile)
- The median (Q2, 50th percentile)
- The upper quartile (Q3, 75th percentile)
- The upper whisker (maximum)
Here's how you can find the percentage of days with 5 or less millimeters of rainfall:
- Identify the value corresponding to the lower whisker on the plot. This will help you understand the lowest recorded rainfall.
- The line separating the lower quartile from the median shows that 25% of the data falls below Q1.
- The median indicates that 50% of the data lies below that point.
- If 5 mm falls below Q1, then you can assert that 25% of the days had rainfall of 5 mm or less. If it falls between Q1 and the median, you will need further analysis.
Once you have this information from the box and whisker plot, you can compute the percentage of days with 5 or less millimeters:
- If 5 mm is at or below the lower quartile, then the percentage will be 25%.
- If 5 mm is the median, then the percentage will be 50%.
- If it is higher than the median, then the percentage will be less than 50% but more than 0%.
Thus, I would need the specific values from the box and whisker plot to provide an exact percentage. Please refer to the box and whisker plot for the specific values to complete your analysis accurately.
