Answer 1

I drew out one, but I have terrible drawing skills. Hope this gives an idea of how it works

Answer 2

"34" is split into "3" (stem) and "4" (leaf).Answer:

Hi!

By definition a stem-and-leaf plot each data value of the data set is split into a "leaf" (usually the last digit) and a "stem" (other digits).

First, you have to sort the data set:

34, 35, 39, 41, 42, 45, 45, 47, 48, 56, 58, 62

Second, split the numbers:

• "34" is split into "3" (stem) and "4" (leaf).
• "35" is split into "3" (stem) and "5" (leaf).
• "39" is split into "3" (stem) and "9" (leaf).
• "41" is split into "4" (stem) and "1" (leaf).
• "42" is split into "4" (stem) and "2" (leaf).
• "45" is split into "4" (stem) and "5" (leaf).
• "47" is split into "4" (stem) and "7" (leaf).
• "48" is split into "4" (stem) and "8" (leaf).
• "56" is split into "5" (stem) and "6" (leaf).
• "58" is split into "5" (stem) and "8" (leaf).
• "62" is split into "6" (stem) and "2" (leaf).

Last, complete the table for stem-and-leaf.
