Question
**Exploring Income Distribution Using a Stem-and-Leaf Plot**

In this lesson, we will learn how to represent and analyze data using a stem-and-leaf plot. Let's start by using a data set that includes the income (in millions of dollars) of 30 of the highest-paid athletes. Here are the given incomes:

\[36, 36, 44, 50, 35, 56, 68, 47, 63, 46, 37, 76, 45, 34, 44, 43, 81, 53, 38, 73, 34, 38, 88, 34, 53, 41, 42, 45, 48\]

We will create a stem-and-leaf plot for this data. Each number in our data set will be split into two parts: the "stem" (the leading digit or digits) and the "leaf" (the last digit).

### Steps to Create a Stem-and-Leaf Plot

1. **Identify Stems and Leaves:** 
   - The tens and units will be the leaves.
   - For example, 36 will have '3' as the stem and '6' as the leaf.
   
2. **List Stems in Order:**
   - We need to list each unique tens digit (stem) in ascending order.
   
3. **Attach Corresponding Leaves:**
   - Group all units digits (leaves) corresponding to each tens digit (stem).

### Constructed Stem-and-Leaf Plot

#### Key: \(3|3 = 33\)

\[
\begin{array}{l l}
\text{Income (\$ millions)} & \\
\hline
3 & | 4, 4, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 8 \\
4 & | 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8 \\
5 & | 0, 3, 3, 6, 3 \\
6 & | 3, 8 \\
7 & | 3, 6 \\
8 & | 1, 8 \\
\end{array}
\]

### Analysis

Now let's analyze and summarize the data:

#### What best describes the data?
