Use the details i give you to answer the question. PLEASE answer CORRECTLY
A vertical number line labeled the Number of Laps Run ranges from 6 to 62 in increments of 2, with numbers marked in increments of 4. A box plot to the right of the number line shows the following: the minimum value is 6; the maximum value is 62; the lower quartile is 13; the median value is 28, and the upper quartile is 43.5.
The box plot represents the number of laps a group of 6th graders were able to run. Approximately what percentage of 6th graders ran fewer than 28 laps?

A. 50%
B. 75%
C. 25%
D. 100%
B. 75%
To determine the percentage of 6th graders who ran fewer than 28 laps, we can look at the median value which is 28. Since the median value represents the 50th percentile, then 75% of the students would have run fewer than 28 laps (25% below the lower quartile + 50% between the lower quartile and median). So, the correct answer is B. 75%.
