Answer 1

The median of the data given in the stem-and-leaf plot is 24, which is the middle value of the ordered data set. The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to finding the median from a given stem-and-leaf plot. To find the median, we need to locate the middle value in the ordered data set. In the provided stem-and-leaf plot, the data points, in order, are 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 22, 23, 24, 24, 27, 32, 34, 35, 37, 39. Since there are 15 data points, the median will be the 8th value when the data is ordered as it already is. The 8th value in this set is 24, which corresponds to option A in the given choices.
