Use the image to answer the question.A vertical number line labeled the Number of Laps Run ranges from 6 to 62 in increments of 2, with numbers marked in increments of 4. A box plot to the right of the number line shows the following: the minimum value is 6; the maximum value is 62; the lower quartile is 13; the median value is 28, and the upper quartile is 43.5. The box plot represents the number of laps a group of 6th graders were able to run. Approximately what percentage of 6th graders ran fewer than 28 laps?(1 point)Responses50%50%100%100%75%75%25%25%Skip to navigation
To find out the percentage of 6th graders who ran fewer than 28 laps, we need to look at the lower quartile value in the box plot. The lower quartile is 13, which means 25% of the students ran fewer than 13 laps.
Since the median value is 28, we know that 50% of the students ran fewer than 28 laps. Therefore, the percentage of 6th graders who ran fewer than 28 laps is 25% (from the lower quartile) + 25% (from the range between the lower quartile and median) = 50%.
Therefore, approximately 50% of the 6th graders ran fewer than 28 laps.
