Chapter 11.1, Problem 7E

To determine

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

Answer to Problem 7E

The ordered stem-and-leaf plot is Ordered plot

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{0 6 9}\\ \text{1}\\ \text{2}\\ \text{3 }\\ \text{4 1 4}\\ \text{5 0 4 8}\\ 6\text{ 1 2 2 3 4 5}\\ 7\text{ 0 0 1 7}\end{array}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: consider the data provided in the question.

  $62,77,50,6,44,61,70,9,62,71,65,41,54,63,58,64,70$ .

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

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{0 6 9}\\ \text{1}\\ \text{2}\\ \text{3 }\\ \text{4 1 4}\\ \text{5 0 4 8}\\ 6\text{ 1 2 2 3 4 5}\\ 7\text{ 0 0 1 7}\end{array}$

Hence,

Thus ,Ordered plot

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{0 6 9}\\ \text{1}\\ \text{2}\\ \text{3 }\\ \text{4 1 4}\\ \text{5 0 4 8}\\ 6\text{ 1 2 2 3 4 5}\\ 7\text{ 0 0 1 7}\end{array}$
