This question is Incomplete because it lacks the diagram of the box plot. Please find attached the diagram of the box plot

Answer:

B) 102 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the attached diagram, we can see the box plot it divided into different segment

The median weight of the babies = 110 ounces

The maximum weight of the babies is between = 140 and 130, approximately let's say 135 ounces

The minimum weight is 80 ounces

Then the box in the middle is divided into 3

It has the First Quartile

Median

And third Quartile

Since we have 160 infants born in the local hospital, about 40 of the birthweights we fall into

= 40/160 = 1/4

1/4 represents the first Quartile

Looking at the box plot, 40 of the birthweights were below 102 ounces.
