Explanation:

Step1: Recall box - and - whisker plot properties

In a box - and - whisker plot, the third quartile ($Q_3$) represents the value below which 75% of the data lies.

Step2: Identify $Q_3$ on the plot

By observing the box - and - whisker plot, we can see that the value of $Q_3$ is approximately 81. This means that approximately 75% of Jimmy's past scores are less than 81. So, we can expect that approximately 75% of the time, Jimmy should be able to achieve a score of less than 81 in the next 10 games.

Answer:

B. Jimmy should be able to achieve a score of less than 81.
