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
[tex]100\%-75\%=25\%[/tex]
Therefore, approximately 25% of players weigh greater than or equal to 207 pounds.
