Question

Which stem-and-leaf plot represents the data? 15, 16, 15, 48, 48, 63, 15, 29, 16, 30, 48 A stem-and-leaf plot with a stem value of 1 with a leaf value of 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, a stem value of 2 with a leaf value of 9, a stem value of 3 with a leaf value of 0, a stem value of 4 with a leaf value of 8, a stem value of 5, and a stem value of 6 with a leaf value of 3. Key: 1|5 means 15 A stem-and-leaf plot with a stem value of 1 with a leaf value of 5, 5, 6, a stem value of 2, a stem value of 3 with a leaf value of 0, and a stem value of 4 with a leaf value of 8, 8, 8. Key: 1|5 means 15 A stem-and-leaf plot with a stem value of 1 with a leaf value of 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, a stem value of 2 with a leaf value of 9, a stem value of 3 with a leaf value of 0, a stem value of 4 with a leaf value of 8, 8, 8, a stem value of 5, and a stem value of 6 with a leaf value of 3. Key: 1|5 means 15 A stem-and-leaf plot with a stem value of 1 with a leaf value of 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, a stem value of 2 with a leaf value of 9, a stem value of 3 with a leaf value of 0, a stem value of 4 with a leaf value of 8, a stem value of 5, and a stem value of 6 with a leaf value of 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not clear. However, I'll plot the stem and leaf plot and write out the observations.

Given

15, 16, 15, 48, 48, 63, 15, 29, 16, 30, 48

The first step is to plot the stem and leaf plot.

To plot a stem and leaf plot, follow the steps below

1. Get the range:

Low: 15

High: 48

2. Identify the stems

For any number, the digit to the left of the right-most digit is a stem. For example, the number 31 has a stem of 3, while the number 29 has a stem of 2. A one-digit number like 4 has a stem of 0. Think ''04'' for 4.

Based on the range of 15 to 63, we need stems of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

Stems ||

1

2

3

4

5

6

3. Then we fill in the leafs

Stem || Leaf

1 || 5 5 5 6 6

2 || 9

3 || 0

4 || 8 8 8

5 ||

6 || 3

At this point, we can pen down our observations

1. The stem Value 1 has leaf values 5,5,5,6,6

2. The stem Value 2 has a leaf value 9

3. The stem Value 3 has a leaf value 0

4. The stem Value 4 has leaf Values 8,8,8

5. The stem Value 5 has no leaf

6. The stem Value 6 has leaf value 3

Answer 2

The correct answer is the 3rd choice.

Here is what it would look like:

STEM|LEAF
     1  | 5 5 5 6 6 
     2  | 9
     3  | 0
     4  | 8 8 8 
     5  |
     6  | 3

KEY: 1|5 = 15
