Chapter 11.1, Problem 8E

To determine

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

Answer to Problem 8E

The ordered stem-and-leaf plot is Ordered plot

  $\begin{array}{l}\\ \text{2 55 56 66 66 68 88}\\ \text{3 01 11 16 19 21 23 50 }\end{array}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: consider the data provided in the question.

  $3.23,3.01,2.68,3.16,2.88,3.11,2.55,3.19,2.56,3.21,2.66,3.50,2.66$ .

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

  $\begin{array}{l}\\ \text{2 55 56 66 66 68 88}\\ \text{3 01 11 16 19 21 23 50 }\end{array}$

Hence,

Thus ,Ordered plot

  $\begin{array}{l}\\ \text{2 55 56 66 66 68 88}\\ \text{3 01 11 16 19 21 23 50 }\end{array}$
