Q. (D) The median is 11.\newline33. The box plot shows the protein, in grams, in each serving of 77 different brands of nutritional shakes.\newlineIn 75% 75 \% of the shakes, Paula found at least how many grams of protein?\newline(A) 1515\newline(C) 2525\newline(B) 1616.55\newline(D) 2727\newlineAssessment, Form B
  1. Understand Median Concept: We know that the median is the middle value, so 50%50\% of the data is above and 50%50\% is below the median. Since the median is 11, we need to find the value at the 7575th percentile, which is the third quartile in a box plot.
  2. Find Third Quartile: To find the third quartile, we look at the options given. Since 75%75\% of the shakes have at least this amount of protein, the third quartile will be the smallest number that is greater than or equal to the values of 75%75\% of the shakes.
  3. Eliminate Lower Options: Looking at the options, we can eliminate (A)15(A) 15 and (B)16.5(B) 16.5 because they are lower than (C)25(C) 25 and (D)27(D) 27. Since we are looking for the smallest number that is greater than or equal to the values of 75%75\% of the shakes, we can't have a number that is lower than another option.
  4. Choose Smallest Value: Now we have to choose between (C) 2525 and (D) 2727. Since we want the value that 75%75\% of the shakes have at least, we choose the lower of the two numbers, which is (C) 2525.
  5. Consider Mistake Made: However, we made a mistake. We assumed that the median being 11 is relevant to finding the 7575th percentile, but it's not directly related. We need the actual data or the box plot to determine the 7575th percentile. Without the box plot or data, we cannot determine the correct answer.
