Question

Ronique recorded the number of games that the school softball team won each year for the past 7 years: 31, 24, 32, 22, 34, 28, 38. Ronique's team won at least (blank)

games in 75% of the seasons that they played.

Answer 1

Ronique's team won at least 24 games in 75% of the season that they played.

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.
