The box-and-whisker plot above shows the range of work commutes for new york city workers. What percentage of workers commute 35 minutes or more to work?

a) 100%
b) 75%
c) 50%
d) 25%

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure it is 75 percent because more than half commute 35 minutes or more to work

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given box plot it is clear that

Minimum value = 26

$Q_1=35$

$Median=57$

$Q_3=73$

Maximum value=180

We know that

$Q_1=25\%$

$Median=50\%$

$Q_3=75\%$

Since 35 is first quartile it means 25% data lie below 35 and 75% data lie above 35, therefore 75% of workers commute 35 minutes or more to work.

Thus option b is correct.
