The digit in the hundreds place is the best stem value for the set of data shown above.
This statement is false.
To determine the best stem value for a dataset, we want to choose a value that will allow us to create a stem-and-leaf plot that is easy to read and provides useful information about the distribution of the data.
In this case, we can see that the hundreds digits of the given numbers range from 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, 1 to 1, and 1 to 1.
Since all the hundreds digits are the same, there is no advantage to using any one of them as the stem value. Instead, we might choose a stem value that allows us to create a stem-and-leaf plot with a reasonable number of leaves per stem.
For example, we could use a stem value of 11 and create the following stem-and-leaf plot:
```
Stem-and-leaf plot for given data:
11 | 61 62 69 67
12 | 67
13 | 52 55 73
14 | 50 42 48 45 78
15 | 55 73
```
This plot allows us to see that the data are roughly symmetric, with a few outliers on either side of the center.
