Answer:
Explanation:
Stem leaf plots are read from top to bottom
The center columned number is the first digit in the number, your 10's place (stem)
The other numbers to right and left are the leaves. and will be your ones place.
So the list of numbers for seaside would be
05, 08
10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18
25, 25, 27, 27, 28
30 and 36
Put them in a line and find the middle number I counted, on the chart to 7. I counted the (5, 8, 0, 1, 2, 5, 6) 6 was my 7th number with a one in front making it 16
Numbers for Bayside (reads somewhat backwards) since leaves go towards left
05, 06, 08
10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18
20, 20, 22, 23, 25
42
no leaves in front of 3 on this side so no numbers for 30's
Count 7 and that's 15
Since there are 15 for each school, count 7 numbers and that's your middle number for each
Bayside 15
Seaside 16
Variability is range of numbers
Bayside goes from 5 to 42 so 42-5=38
Seaside 36-5=31
