To display: the given data in a stem-and-leaf plot.

Answer to Problem 13.2.4EP

Stem leaf plot is as shown below.

Stem	Leaf
$5$	$49$
$6$	$17$
$7$	$35$
$8$	$239$
$9$	$3$
$10$	$2$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Science test scores $:73,61,89,67,82,54,93,102,59,75,83$

Data is arranged in increasing or decreasing order.

Greatest place values are used for stems.

Least place value forms the leaf.

Arrange the data in increasing order.

  $54,59,61,67,73,75,82,83,89,93,102$

Now stem leaf plot is as shown below.

Stem	Leaf
$5$	$49$
$6$	$17$
$7$	$35$
$8$	$239$
$9$	$3$
$10$	$2$

Conclusion:

Stem leaf plot is as shown below.

Stem	Leaf
$5$	$49$
$6$	$17$
$7$	$35$
$8$	$239$
$9$	$3$
$10$	$2$
