Answer:
Nearly 48.78% of the men gave a response that falls in the interval 155 to 195 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a very large number of college men were asked what they thought their ideal weight was.
A five number summary of the response (in pounds) follows:
Median 175
Quartiles 155 196
Extremes 123 225
This implies that 25th percentile is 155 and 75th percentile is 196
This can be interpreted as approximately 50% of men lie between 155 and 196 pounds.
Since 195 is very near to 195, we can say approximately
i.e. 41 difference = 50%
40 difference = [tex]\frac{40*50}{41} \\=48.78[/tex]
Nearly 48.78% of the men gave a response that falls in the interval 155 to 195 pounds
