Pass the popcorn: Following are the running times (in minutes) for the top 15 grossing movies of all time rated PG-13, and the top 15 grossing movies of all time rated R.
- Construct back-to-back stem-and-leaf plots for these data sets.
- Do the running times of R-rated movies differ greatly from the running times of movies rated PG or PG-13: or are they roughly similar?
a.

To construct: A back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot for the data set.

Definition used: Stem plot is a tool to visualize the shape of a distribution.
Calculation:
The back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot for the data set is given by
In the above back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot, Leaf 1 displays the lengths of time of the PG-13 movies and Leaf 2 does so for the R rated movies.

The back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot for the data set is given by
From the above back-to-back slit stem-and-leaf plot, the R-rated movies tend to be shorter.
Therefore, they differ greatly.
