(Enter numbers from smallest to largest separated by spaces. Enter NONE for stems with no values.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Steam} & {\vert} & {Leaf} \ \\ \\ {0.3} & {\vert} & {2\ 5\ 6\ 6\ 7\ 8} \ \\ \\{0.4} & {\vert} & {0\ 0\ 0\ 1\ 1\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 5\ 6\ 6\ 7\ 8\ 8\ 9} \ \\ \ \\ {0.5} & {\vert} & {1\ 4\ 4\ 5\ 8} \ \\ \ \\ {0.6} & {\vert} & {3\ 6\ 6\ 7\ 8} \ \\ \ \\ {0.7} & {\vert} & {8} \ \ \end{array}$

Explanation:

Given

$0.32,\ 0.35,\ 0.36,\ 0.36,\ 0.37,\ 0.38,\ 0.40,\ 0.40,\ 0.40,\ 0.41,$

$0.41,\ 0.42,\ 0.42,\ 0.42,\ 0.42,\ 0.42,\ 0.43,\ 0.44,\ 0.45,\ 0.46,$

$0.46,\ 0.47,\ 0.48,\ 0.48,\ 0.49,\ 0.51,\ 0.54,\ 0.54,\ 0.55,$

$0.58,\ 0.63,\ 0.66,\ 0.66,\ 0.67,\ 0.68,\ 0.78.$

Required

Plot a steam and leaf display for the given data

Start by categorizing the data by their tenth values:

$0.32,\ 0.35,\ 0.36,\ 0.36,\ 0.37,\ 0.38.$

$0.40,\ 0.40,\ 0.40,\ 0.41,\ 0.41,\ 0.42,\ 0.42,\ 0.42,\ 0.42,\ 0.42,$

$0.43,\ 0.44,\ 0.45,\ 0.46,\ 0.46,\ 0.47,\ 0.48,\ 0.48,\ 0.49.$

$0.51,\ 0.54,\ 0.54,\ 0.55,\ 0.58.$

$0.63,\ 0.66,\ 0.66,\ 0.67,\ 0.68.$

$0.78.$

The 0.3's is will be plotted as thus:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Steam} & {\vert} & {Leaf} \ \\ {0.3} & {\vert} & {2\ 5\ 6\ 6\ 7\ 8} \ \ \end{array}$

The 0.4's is as follows:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Steam} & {\vert} & {Leaf} \ \\ {0.4} & {\vert} & {0\ 0\ 0\ 1\ 1\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 5\ 6\ 6\ 7\ 8\ 8\ 9} \ \ \end{array}$

The 0.5's is as follows:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Steam} & {\vert} & {Leaf} \ \\ {0.5} & {\vert} & {1\ 4\ 4\ 5\ 8} \ \ \end{array}$

The 0.6's is as thus:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Steam} & {\vert} & {Leaf} \ \\ {0.6} & {\vert} & {3\ 6\ 6\ 7\ 8} \ \ \end{array}$

Lastly, the 0.7's is as thus:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Steam} & {\vert} & {Leaf} \ \\ {0.7} & {\vert} & {8} \ \ \end{array}$

The combined steam and leaf plot is:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Steam} & {\vert} & {Leaf} \ \\ \\ {0.3} & {\vert} & {2\ 5\ 6\ 6\ 7\ 8} \ \\ \\{0.4} & {\vert} & {0\ 0\ 0\ 1\ 1\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 5\ 6\ 6\ 7\ 8\ 8\ 9} \ \\ \ \\ {0.5} & {\vert} & {1\ 4\ 4\ 5\ 8} \ \\ \ \\ {0.6} & {\vert} & {3\ 6\ 6\ 7\ 8} \ \\ \ \\ {0.7} & {\vert} & {8} \ \ \end{array}$
