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. To find the answer: multiply the percentage (75%) x 20 (the number of inches) We use 75% because that is the Q3 in the data. 25% would be our Q1 and 50% is the median (or Q2).

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.
To find the answer: multiply the percentage (75%) x
20 (the number of inches) We use 75% because that
is the Q3 in the data. 25% would be our Q1 and 50%
