Answer 2

Answer: Choice C

16, 22, 22, 25, 26, 26, 26, 34, 35, 39, 42, 42, 50, 72

==============================================================

Explanation:

The first row has a stem of 1 and a leaf of 6. The stem and leaf combines to 16. For this problem, the stem will always be the tens digit while the leaf values will be the units digit. If there are multiple leaves for a given row, then we use the same stem value.

In row 2, we have "2" as the stem and multiple leaves. The first three leaves for this row are {2, 2, 5}. They pair up with the stem to form the values 22, 22, 25.

So far the data set is 16, 22, 22, 25. Only choice C has this sequence of values at the start of it. Choice B comes close, but it does not have a second copy of 22. So we cross choice B off the list. Choice D is off the list because the first value '5' is not represented on the stem and leaf plot (the stem would be 0 to represent the value 05 which is just 5). Choice A is false for similar reasons.
