**Description:**

The question presented is as follows:

"The box-and-whisker plot below represents some dataset. What percentage of the data values are between 30 and 55?"

**Box-and-Whisker Plot Explanation:**

A box-and-whisker plot (also known as a box plot) is a graphical representation of a dataset that displays the median, quartiles, and extremes of the data. Below is the specific box-and-whisker plot provided:

```
[   |-----|-------|        |-----|   ]
0   10   20   30   40   50   60   70   80   90   100
```

- The left whisker starts at 10.
- The left edge of the box starts at 30.
- The line inside the box (which represents the median) is at 40.
- The right edge of the box ends at 55.
- The right whisker ends at 70.

**Analysis:**

In a box-and-whisker plot:
- The box (from 30 to 55) contains the middle 50% of the data.
- The whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values within 1.5 IQR (Interquartile Range) from the quartiles.

**Question:**

"What percentage of the data values are between 30 and 55?"

**Answer:**

Since the box represents the middle 50% of the data:

**50% of the data values are between 30 and 55.**
