Every year, a hundred or so boats go fishing for Alaskan king crabs for three or four weeks off the Bering Strait. To catch these king crabs, large pots are baited and left on the sea bottom, often a few hundred metres deep. Because of the investment in boats, equipment, personnel, and supplies, fishing for such crabs can be financially risky if not enough crabs are caught. Thus, as pots are pulled and emptied, there is great interest in how many legal king crabs (males of a certain size) there are in any given pot. Suppose the number of legal king crabs is reported for each pot during a season and recorded. In addition, suppose that 200 of these pots are randomly selected and the numbers per pot are used to create the ogive shown below. Study the ogive and comment on the number of legal king crabs per pot.
