The players on Matthew's soccer team each bring a water bottle with them to practice. For a statistics project, Matthew asked each player how much water his bottle held. This box plot shows the results.

Water bottle volume (oz.):

- 12
- 16
- 20
- 24
- 28
- 32

What fraction of the water bottles held at least 24 ounces?

To determine the fraction of bottles holding at least 24 ounces, consider the upper quartile value in the box plot. If the upper quartile is at 24 ounces, 25% of the bottles hold at least 24 ounces of water, or 1/4 of the team's bottles.

Explanation:

You asked about the fraction of water bottles on Matthew's soccer team that hold at least 24 ounces of water. In a box plot representation, the key is to look at the median (the line that divides the box into two), the upper quartile, and the maximum value. Since there isn't a detailed box plot provided in your question, let's assume that the median is at 20 ounces and the upper quartile is at 24 ounces, with 32 ounces being the max value.

We can understand that half the water bottles hold between 20 and 32 ounces. If the upper quartile is at 24, this means that 25% of the bottles hold water volumes from 24 up to 32 ounces. Therefore, the fraction of the water bottles that hold at least 24 ounces is 1/4 or 25%.
