Final answer:
The stem-and-leaf plot provided in the question includes 44 pairs of boots, represented as '4 | 4', making option C) 44 pairs of boots, the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the number of pairs of boots at each store, provided in a stem-and-leaf plot.
To find a specific number of pairs of boots, we need to identify the stem and leaf that correspond to that number.
In this case, we will determine if 44 pairs of boots are represented in the stem-and-leaf plot.
Looking at the stem-and-leaf plot, the stem '4' corresponds to the 'tens' place, and the 'leaves' represent the 'ones' place.
We find the leaf '4' along with the stem '4', represented as '4 | 4', which corresponds to 44 pairs of boots.
Therefore, option C) is the correct answer, as 44 pairs of boots are indeed listed in the stem-and-leaf plot.
The regional manager of a chain of department stores created the following stem-and-leaf plot showing the number of pairs of boots at each of the stores:
Stem | Leaf
---------|-----
5 | 0 4 9
6 | 1 3 4 4 5 7
7 | 0 2 4 5 5 8 9
A) 17 pairs of boots
B) 58 pairs of boots
C) 44 pairs of boots
D) 478 pairs of boots
