a.
To create: the frequency table for the given data.
Given information:
The average wind speeds for one year at 44 climatic data centers around the United States are as follows:
Concept Used:
The number of leaves for a particular stem is the frequency of observations within each stem interval. Frequencies are often recorded in a frequency table.
Calculation:
The interval are
The frequency table is shown below:
b.
To complete: A stem plot diagram for the given data
Given information:
The average wind speeds for one year at 44 climatic data centers around the United States are as follows:
Concept Used:
A histogram, closely related to a stem plot, displays the information of a frequency table
Calculation:
The frequency table is shown below:
By using the above data, the stem plot is shown below:
c.
To explain: the shape of distribution.
The histogram looks symmetric and a bell shape.
