Question

The following data show the height (in inches) of a sample of students. 6770716171676968666567676471696767646269 Fill in the blanks to create a stem leaf plot for these data. Key is 613 = 63. Report values for Leaf column in increasing order and do not keep spaces or place commas between values.

Answer 1

A stem-and-leaf plot was constructed by organizing the given height data into stems (tens) and leaves (units), and then plotting these in increasing order.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a stem-and-leaf plot for the given height data, we first need to organize the data into a stem for each set of tens and leaves for the individual units. After organizing the data, the stem-and-leaf plot can be constructed as follows:

• Stem 5: Leaf 9
• Stem 6: Leaf 0 1 2 2 3 3
• Stem 7: Leaf 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 7
• Stem 8: Leaf 6

Each leaf represents an individual data point corresponding to the base value of the stem. For a key, we could say 7|0 means 70 inches in height. The data points are listed in increasing order as instructed.
