(i) Estimate how many leaves have a length between 14 and 24 centimetres.
(ii) 10% of the leaves have a length of \(L\) centimetres or more. Estimate the value of \(L\).
(iii) Estimate the median and the interquartile range of the lengths.
Sharim measured the lengths, in centimetres, of 160 palm leaves of a different type. He drew a box-and-whisker plot for the data, as shown on the grid below.
