12. A professor creates a boxplot of test scores for 26 students in a statistics course. What percentage of students scored above 81

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the boxplot given ;

The boxplot can be summarized as follows :

Lower quartile, Q1 = 50 (starting point of the box)

Median (Q2), 50th percentile = 70 (vertical line in between the box)

The upper quartile marks the 75th percentile, Q3 = 81 (end point of the box)

The total distribution is 100% and hence, the percentage above the score 81 will be :

100% - 75% = 25%

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
