Question

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the number of text messages Hal received each day for two weeks.

Answer 1

From the step and leaf plot, we can generate the actual number of text messages Hal received:

`10,\text{ 22, 24, 24, 24, 25, 30, 32, 32, 33, 34, 44, 46, 51}`

Mode of the data: Value with the highest frequency

`\text{Mode = 24}`

Median of the data: value that lies at the center of the distribution

`\begin{gathered} \text{Median = }\frac{30\text{ + 32}}{2} \\ =\text{ 31} \end{gathered}`

Difference between the median and the mode :

`\begin{gathered} =\text{ Median - Mode} \\ =\text{ 31 - 24} \\ =7 \end{gathered}`

Correct option : third option
