Answer:

About 91%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the box plot provided :

Total number of students = 40

Minimum weight = 152 pounds

Third quartile (Q3) = 245

The approximate percentage of students that weigh 245 kg or less

About 10 of the intervals out of the 11 coverage interval of the box plot fall between 152 and 254 ; Hence,

(10 / 11) * 100

90.90

= about 91 % of the total students weigh 245 kg or less
