Question

The stem-and-leaf plot above shows house sale prices over the last week in Tacoma. What was the most expensive house sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

360,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the following stem-and-leaf plot

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Stem (Hundred thousand)}&\text{Leaf (Ten thousand)}\\0& 6,6,7,7,7,8,9,9,9\\1&0,2,4,4,7,7,7,8,8,8,9,9,9,9\\2&0,0,1,1,2,3,4,4,4,5,6,6,7,8,8,9\\3&0,0,0,1,1,2,2,6\end{array}$

From this stem-and-leaf plot above you can write the list of all house prices:

$60,000,\ 60,000,\ 70,000,\ 70,000,\ 70,000,\ 80,000,\ 90,000,\ 90,000,\\90,000,\ 100,000,\ 120,000,\ 140,000,\ 140,000,\ 170,000,\ 170,000,\ 170,000,\\ 180,000,\ 180,000,\ 180,000,\ 190,000,\ 190,000,\ 190,000,\ 190,000,\ 200,000,\\ 200,000,\ 210,000,\ 210,000,\ 220,000,\ 230,000,\ 240,000,\ 240,000,\\ 240,000,\ 250,000,\ 260,000,\ 260,000,\ 270,000,\ 280,000,\ 280,000,\\ 290,000,\ 300,000,\ 300,000,\ 300,000,\ 310,000,\ 310,000,\ 320,000,\\ 320,000,\ 360,000$

As you can see the most expensive house sold is house priced 360,000.
