Question

12. A professor creates a boxplot of test scores for 26 students in a statistics course. What percentage of students scored above 81

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the boxplot given ;

The boxplot can be summarized as follows :

Lower quartile, Q1 = 50 (starting point of the box)

Median (Q2), 50th percentile = 70 (vertical line in between the box)

The upper quartile marks the 75th percentile, Q3 = 81 (end point of the box)

The total distribution is 100% and hence, the percentage above the score 81 will be :

100% - 75% = 25%
