PS
9 Two films are shown on screen A and screen B at a cinema each evening. The numbers
of people viewing the films on 12 consecutive evenings are shown in the back-to-back
stem-and-leaf diagram.
Screen A (12) Screen B (12)
8
037
34
7 6 4 0 534
74 1645678
92 71689
Key: 116|4 represents 61 viewers for A and 64 viewers for B
A second stem-and-leaf diagram (with rows of the same width as the previous diagram)
is drawn showing the total number of people viewing films at the cinema on each of
these 12 evenings. Find the least and greatest possible number of rows that this second
diagram could have.
TIP
On the evening when 30 people viewed films on screen A, there could have been as few
as 37 or as many as 79 people viewing films on screen B.
