Answer 1

The stem and leaf plot that would be created would be the last choice.

Here is the data in order and the Stem and Leaf plot created:

15, 15, 15, 16, 16, 29, 30, 48, 48, 48, 63

Stem|Leaf
1 | 5 5 5 6 6
2 | 9
3 | 0
4 | 8 8 8
5 |
6 | 3

Key: 1|5 means 15

Explanation:

Given: 15, 16, 15, 48, 48, 63, 15, 29, 16, 30, 48

To plot a stem and leaf plot, first rearrange the observations in ascending order: 15, 15, 15, 16, 16, 29, 30, 48, 48, 48 , 63

Next, is to get the range of values

Low: 15

High = 63

Next, is to identify the stems

Using the range of 15 to 63, we need stems of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

In tabular form, the stems are:

Stems ||

1 ||

2 ||

3 ||

4 ||

5 ||

6 ||

Next, is to fill in the leafs

Stem || Leaf

1 || 5 5 5 6 6

2 || 9

3 || 0

4 || 8 8 8

5 ||

6 || 3

Lastly, we write out our observations

1. The stem Value 1 has leaf values 5,5,5,6,6

2. The stem Value 2 has a leaf value 9

3. The stem Value 3 has a leaf value 0

4. The stem Value 4 has leaf Values 8,8,8

5. The stem Value 5 has no leaf

6. The stem Value 6 has leaf value 3

Comparing the observation with the options, option D represents the stem-and-leaf plot representation of 15, 16, 15, 48, 48, 63, 15, 29, 16, 30, 48
