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

The correct option is b.

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.
