based on the key the number under the stem column is a whole number mile and the number under the leaf column is a decimal ( partial mile)
so for students that ran more than 6 miles, count the numbers under the leaf that are next to 6 or higher
, there is 3 next to 6, 2 next to 7 and 2 next to 8
so there were 3 +2 +2 = 7 students that ran more than 6 miles
shortest run: 4.3
