Question

box plot below represents some data set. approximately what percentage of the data values are greater than 16?
answer. attempt 2 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the properties of box - plot

In a box - plot, the box represents the inter - quartile range (IQR), which contains 50% of the data. The line inside the box is the median. The whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values. Also, we know that the median divides the data into two halves (50% below and 50% above).

Step2: Analyze the position of 16

Since 16 is the median of the data set (the line inside the box).

Step3: Calculate the percentage of data greater than the median

By the definition of the median in a data set, 50% of the data values are greater than the median.

Answer:

50%
