1. **State the problem:** We want to find the percentage of band members who practice their instruments less than 20 minutes per day based on the sample data.
2. **Understand the data:** The dot plot shows the number of band members practicing at different times:
- 1 member at 10 minutes
- 2 members at 15 minutes
- 5 members at 30 minutes
- 1 member at 40 minutes
- 1 member at 50 minutes
- 3 members at 60 minutes
3. **Identify members practicing less than 20 minutes:** These are the members at 10 and 15 minutes.
- Total members practicing less than 20 minutes = 1 + 2 = 3
4. **Total sample size:** 20 members
5. **Calculate the percentage:**
$$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number practicing less than 20}}{\text{Total sample}}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{3}{20}\right) \times 100$$
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{3}{20} = 0.15$$
7. **Calculate the final percentage:**
$$0.15 \times 100 = 15\%$$
**Answer:** About 15% of all band members practice their instruments less than 20 minutes per day.
