Question

Below is the list the highway gas mileages (in miles per gallon) of the randomly selected Honda car models. 22, 24, 26, 26, 28, 28, 29, 30, 30, 30, 31, 34, 34, 34, 34, 35, 36, 36, 41, 41 a) Construct a stem plot of the data set. Be sure to label the units. (4 pts.) b) What is the percentile of 34 miles per gallon

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the list the highway gas mileages (in miles per gallon)

22, 24, 26, 26, 28, 28, 29, 30, 30, 30, 31, 34, 34, 34, 34, 35, 36, 36, 41, 41

We construct stem and leaf plot as follows:

Stem Leaf

2 2 4 6 6 8 8 9

3 0 0 0 1 4 4 4 4 5 6 6

4 1 1

b) 34th percentile = 34*20/100 = 6.8th entry

i.e. in ascending order,

7th entry = 29 is the 34th percentile.
