Answer:
Ronique's team won at least 24 games in 75% of the season that they played.
Step-by-step explanation:
(The box-whisker plot below will show everything, but I'll explain it in detail because I want to be more helpful)
So... we have seven data points.
2014 - 15 (Year 1): 31 wins
2015 - 16 (Year 2): 24 wins
2016 - 17 (Year 3): 32 wins
2017 - 18 (Year 4): 22 wins
2018 - 19 (Year 5): 34 wins
2019 - 20 (Year 6): 28 wins
2020 - 21 (Year 7): 38 wins
We need a box & whisker plot for this.
22 will go on the left whisker, since it's the lowest of the data points. 38 will go on the right whisker, since it's the highest.
For the two quartiles, 24 is the first quartile, so from that point to the right whisker, that's 75% of the data. The third quartile will be 34. And the midline will be at 31, since it's the median of the data points.
From that explanation, we can be sure that Ronique's team won at least 24 games in 75% of the seasons that they played.
