Question

the box - and - whisker plot below represents some data set. what percentage of the data values are greater than or equal to 56?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall box - and - whisker plot properties

In a box - and - whisker plot, the box is divided into two parts by the median. The right - hand side of the box represents the upper half of the data.

Step2: Analyze the position of 56

Since 56 is the median (the line inside the box divides the data into two halves). The right half of the box and the right whisker represent the data values greater than the median.
The percentage of data values greater than or equal to the median is \(50\%\)

Answer:

\(50\%\)
