i.
Show below data in stem and leaf plot.
i.
Answer to Problem 13STP
Stem and leaf plot for given data is,
Stem | Leaf |
6 | 7 9 |
7 | 2 4 6 6 5 9 6 3 2 0 4 6 8 9 |
8 | 1 4 3 0 |
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculations:
Here, we have given stem and leaf plot for given set of data.
A stem and leaf plot is similar to bar graph.
Stem is the first digit of any number and leaf is the last digit of any number.
Now, stem and leaf plot for given high temperatures over 20 days period is,
Stem | Leaf |
6 | 7 9 |
7 | 2 4 6 6 5 9 6 3 2 0 4 6 8 9 |
8 | 1 4 3 0 |
Conclusion:
Therefore, we are able to show stem and leaf plot for given set of data.
ii.
Calculate the range for daily high temperatures over 20 days.
ii.
Answer to Problem 13STP
Range for daily high temperatures over 20 days is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculations:
Here, we have to draw stem and leaf plot for given set of data.
A stem and leaf plot is similar to bar graph.
Stem is the first digit of any number and leaf is the last digit of any number.
Stem and leaf plot for given high temperatures over 20 days period is,
Stem | Leaf |
6 | 7 9 |
7 | 2 4 6 6 5 9 6 3 2 0 4 6 8 9 |
8 | 1 4 3 0 |
Range for given temperatures can be calculated by,
Conclusion:
Therefore, we are able to calculate range for given temperature.
iii.
Make a conclusions on given set of data for daily high temperatures over 20 days.
iii.
Answer to Problem 13STP
According to Stem and leaf plot for given data, 67 is the lowest and 84 is the largest temperature.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculations:
Here, we have drawn stem and leaf plot for given set of data.
A stem and leaf plot is similar to bar graph.
Stem is the first digit of any number and leaf is the last digit of any number.
Stem and leaf plot for given high temperatures over 20 days period is,
Stem | Leaf |
6 | 7 9 |
7 | 2 4 6 6 5 9 6 3 2 0 4 6 8 9 |
8 | 1 4 3 0 |
Range for given temperatures can be calculated by taking difference between higher and lower value among the set of data.
The lowest value in the data is 67 and the largest value is 84.
76 is the most frequent value and 84 is the outlier.
Conclusion:
Therefore, we are able to make conclusions about given set of data.
