Question

Last year, Nicholas started babysitting to earn extra spending money. Over the summer, he tracked how much money he earned at each babysitting jobThis box plot shows the results What percent of the time did Nicholas earn $25 or less?

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 values of the given box plot are;

The minimum value = 20

The first quartile, the 25th percentile point, Q₁ = 25

The median or second quartile, the 50th percentile point, Q₂ = 30

The third quartile, the 75th percentile point, Q₃ = 40

The maximum value = 55

The range = The maximum value - The minimum value

∴ The range = 55 - 20 = 35

We note that Nicholas earned $25 or less from the minimum value up to first quartile, Q₁, which is the 25th percentile point, where we have 25 percent of the data points

Therefore, the percent of the time Nicholas earned $25 or less is 25 percent of the time.
