Chapter 11.1, Problem 3E

To determine

To calculate: to make an ordered stem-and-leaf plot of the data.

Answer to Problem 3E

The ordered stem-and-leaf plot is Ordered plot

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{2 1 6 9}\\ 3\text{ 1 3 }\\ 4\text{ 0 0 1 4 6}\\ 5\text{ 6 6 8}\\ 6\text{ 0 2}\end{array}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: consider the data provided in the question.

  $\text{26,56,40,29,44,40,60,58,62,21,56,31,33,46,41}$ .

Calculation: to find the ordered stem-and-leaf plot of the data write the stem first. Then record each distance by writing its ones’ digit on the same line as its corresponding stem.

Ordered plot

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{2 1 6 9}\\ 3\text{ 1 3 }\\ 4\text{ 0 0 1 4 6}\\ 5\text{ 6 6 8}\\ 6\text{ 0 2}\end{array}$

Hence,

Thus ,Ordered plot

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{2 1 6 9}\\ 3\text{ 1 3 }\\ 4\text{ 0 0 1 4 6}\\ 5\text{ 6 6 8}\\ 6\text{ 0 2}\end{array}$
