Arrange the 8 numbers in ascending order.
13, 22, 31, 38, 47, 69, 73, 82
The question is asking for a number that is greater than 3/4ths (> 6 of the numbers) and < 1/4ths (< 2 of the numbers) on the list.
So, it should be greather than 69 and less than 73. 71 does the trick. (70 or 72 also would fit the bill).

So It Goes
