The way the table is displayed is a bit confusing, but I will try to reproduce the data as best I can in toto.
Budget range | Number of teams | Probability of making the playoffs
$41 - $46M | 7 | ~ 50%
$37 - $41M | 7 | 25 - 50%
$29 - $33M | 8 | 15 - 25%
$24 - $28M | 12 | 5 - 15%
$19 - $23M | 34 | <5%

So, sure, spending $45M doesn't guarantee that you will make the playoffs, but spending $20 million pretty much guarantees that you will not make the playoffs.
