Answer: Stem and leaf plot
Explanation:
Given : Aubrey recorded the low temperature in her home town each day for two weeks. Her results, in degrees Fahrenheit, are:
41, 46, 43, 53, 55, 44, 51, 39, 42, 38, 50, 52, 47, 45.
In order to find the best display to show whether there were more low temperatures in the 30’s, 40’s, or 50’s we use stem and leaf plot because its a general way to display the frequency where each data value is divides into a stem and a leaf (the first digit as stem and the last digit as leaf).
To understand this , lets make the stem and leaf plot of the given data.
Stem Leaf
3 8, 9
4 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
5 0, 1, 2, 3, 5
We can easily see that the more low temperatures are in 50's
Hence, the stem and leaf plot gives the best display to show whether there were more low temperatures in the 30’s, 40’s, or 50’s.
