2 answers:
Answer: 25 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a box plot and it is a useful graph for showing the minimum, maximum, median and quartile values of a data distribution.
The box you see in the middle is the Interquartile range. In other words, the first line on the box is Q1 and the line at the end of the box is Q3.
The line in the middle of the box is the median or Q2.
The distance between Q1 and the median is 25%.
The number of cars between 40 and 48 miles per hour is therefore 25% of the total.
= 100 * 25%
= 25 cars
