Question
**Box-and-Whisker Plot Analysis of Trout Lengths**

The box-and-whisker plot below represents the length, in inches, of 20 trout caught at Raystown Lake in one weekend.

**Length of Trout (inches)**

[Diagram Explanation]
- The box-and-whisker plot consists of a number line ranging from 10 to 30 inches.
- The box indicates the interquartile range, with the left edge at approximately 12 inches (the lower quartile, Q1) and the right edge at 20 inches (the upper quartile, Q3).
- The line inside the box marks the median (Q2) at around 15 inches.
- Whiskers extend from the box to the minimum at 10 inches and maximum at 28 inches.

**Question:**
How many trout were less than 20 inches long?

**Hint:**
20 inches is the upper quartile of the box-and-whisker plot. So, 75% of the trout were less than 20 inches long.

**Solution:**
To find the answer: multiply the percentage (75%) by 20 (the total number of trout). We use 75% because that is the Q3 in the data. 25% would be our Q1, and 50% is the median (Q2).
