Question

The stem and leaf plot below shows the amount of tips received by the servers in a restaurant in one night. Why is the plot misleading?

Answer 1

D) the stem does not clearly show the outlier

Answer 2

Answer: The stem does not clearly show the outlier.

Explanation:

• A stem-leaf data plot is used when we need a data arranged by place value.

The given stem-leaf plot is a misleading plot.

Because when we look in the stems, there is one missing value of 4. If we [ut 4 there then it will give us right evidence of the presence of outlier.

It will show that the value of 59 is detached from other values.

Hence, we can say that the plot is misleading because the stem does not clearly show the outlier.
