Chapter 11.6, Problem 48E

To determine

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

Answer to Problem 48E

The ordered stem-and-leaf plot is Ordered plot

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

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $46,66,3,5,18,49,28,2,21,44,9,13,17,8,52,25,39,68,73,37,5,15$ .

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

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

Hence,

Thus ,Ordered plot

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