Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Count number of data points less than 14

Count the number of dots to the left of 14 on the dot - plot. There are 3 + 5+ 4 = 12 dots.

Step2: Calculate the percentile

Use the formula for percentile: $P=\frac{n}{N}\times100%$, where $n$ is the number of data - points less than the value of interest and $N$ is the total number of data - points. Here, $n = 12$ and $N=19$. So $P=\frac{12}{19}\times100%\approx63.16%$.

Answer:

The closest estimate among the options (assuming the full options are available and one of them is close to 63rd percentile) is the one closest to 63rd percentile. Since the 16th percentile is incorrect based on our calculation, if there is an option close to 63rd percentile, that would be the correct answer. Without seeing the full B option, we can't exactly pick from the presented choices, but the calculated percentile is approximately 63rd percentile.
