Explanation of Solution
Given:
This is the given information:
Arrange the dataset in ascending order as follows.
133, 134, 135, 137, 138, 142, 143, 143, 148, 148, 149, 151, 153, 154, 154, 155, 156, 156, 156, 157, 160, 162, 162, 166, 170, 172, 173, 176
1. Arrange the dataset in ascending order as follows.
133, 134, 135, 137, 138, 142, 143, 143, 148, 148, 149, 151, 153, 154, 154, 155, 156, 156, 156, 157, 160, 162, 162, 166, 170, 172, 173, 176
2. Write the all possible greatest place value in stem column. Therefore, stem column is as follows.
stem | Leaf |
13 | |
14 | |
15 | |
16 | |
17 |
3. Now write the ones digits to the right of the corresponding stems that is in the leaf column.
Thus the stem−leaf plot as follows.
Stem | Leaf |
13 | 3,4,5,7,8 |
14 | 2,3,2,8,8,8,8,9 |
15 | 1,3,4,4,5,6,6,7 |
16 | 0,2,2,6 |
17 | 0,2,3,6 |
4. Include the title. Also write key that explains how to read the stems and leaves of stem-leaf plot.

Stem | Leaf |
13 | 3,4,5,7,8 |
14 | 2,3,2,8,8,8,8,9 |
15 | 1,3,4,4,5,6,6,7 |
16 | 0,2,2,6 |
17 | 0,2,3,6 |
13|3=133 mph
5. From the stem-and- leaf plot of Daytona 500 wining speeds , the frequency of speed in the range 140-150 mph and 150-160 mph is same and higher than other ranges.
6. From the stem-and-leaf plot of Daytona 500 winning speeds , that the frequency of speed in the range 160-170 mph and 170-180mph is same and lower than other ranges.

How would they plan their weekend without up-to-date air temperature readings? Silent devastation - and maybe a hint of panic, also - hung in the room. Apprentice Taylor, who - as always - was late to the meeting, sensed that this was his chance to shine! Could they fake the data? At least for some hours (until the measurements would work again)? He used to spend a lot of time online and thus knew the value of fake data, especially when it spread fast! He reminded the crying professors of a prehistoric project with the title "Love your derivatives as you love yourself!" - back then, they had installed top-modern technology that not only measured the air temperature itself, but also its 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and…arrow_forwardConsider a forest where the population of a particular plant species grows exponentially. In a real-world scenario, we often deal with systems where the analytical function describing the phenomenon is not available. In such cases, numerical methods come in handy. For the sake of this task, however, you are provided with an analytical function so that you can compare the results of the numerical methods to some ground truth. The population P(t) of the plants at time t (in years) is given by the equation: P(t) = 200 0.03 t You are tasked with estimating the rate of change of the plant population at t = 5 years using numerical differentiation methods. First, compute the value of P'(t) at t = 5 analytically. Then, estimate P'(t) at t = 5 years using the following numerical differentiation methods: ⚫ forward difference method (2nd-order accurate) 3 ⚫ backward difference method (2nd-order accurate) ⚫ central difference method (2nd-order accurate) Use h = 0.5 as the step size and round all…arrow_forward
