We are given a boxplot of the weights of high school football players.

Recall that a boxplot provides the following five-point summary.

1. Minimum value

2. 1st quartile (25%)

3. Median (50%)

4. 3rd quartile (75%)

5. Maximum value

As you can see from the boxplot,

The median weight is 187 pounds.

The weight of 207 pounds marks the 3rd quartile (75%)

This means that the remaining percentage of players weighing greater than or equal to 207 pounds is


100\%-75\%=25\%

Therefore, approximately 25% of players weigh greater than or equal to 207 pounds.
