In the question, it is already given that the total number of runners in the race is 60 and out of them 1/3 dropped out in the first half. In the second half 1/4 of the remaining runners dropped out.
Now
Total number of runners in the race = 60
Number of runners that dropped out in the first half = 1/3 * 60
                                                                                   = 20
Number of runners remaining = 60 - 20
                                                 = 40
Number of runners dropping out in the second half = 40 * 1/4
                                                                                 = 10
Then the number of runners that finished the race = 40 - 10
                                                                                 = 30
Then 30 runners completed the race.

1/3 60 = 20 : 40 runners left : 1/4 40 = 10 : 30 runners left

Pls help me!!!
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A box plot is the diagrammatic representation of the five number summary. It includes 5 items:

The minimum.

Q1 = the first quartile or the 25% mark.

The median.

Q3 = the third quartile or the 75% mark.

The maximum.

Rearranging the data in ascending order, it becomes

169, 163, 153, 166, 149, 148, 146, 145, 152, 163

145, 146, 148, 149, 152, 153, 163, 163, 166, 169

Minimum = 145

Maximum = 169

Median = (152 + 153)/2 = 152.5

The median divides the data into two equal halves. The middle of the lower halve is Q1 while the middle of the upper halve is Q3

Q1 = 148

Q3 = 163

The diagram of the box plot is shown in the attached photo
