The two numbers out of range are 9.4 and 10.5
so 6 numbers in range
6/8 = 75%

You actually don't even need to look at the set here, since only one answer is possible. The question asks "what percent of the 8 numbers..." so the only possible answers would be:
0/8 = 0 %
...
5/8 = 62.5 %
6/8 = 75 %
7/8 = 87.5 %
8/8 = 100 %
There's only one answer that could possibly be right: D.
0/8 = 0 %
...
5/8 = 62.5 %
6/8 = 75 %
7/8 = 87.5 %
8/8 = 100 %
There's only one answer that could possibly be right: D.
