Question

With the enthusiasm for statistics at an all-time high, students were found sprinting from their vehicle to the classroom just to be the first person to grab a seat. The times of the students were recorded (in seconds) and given in the stemplot below.What is the 9th fastest time a student took to go from his/her vehicle to a seat in the classroom? Make sure to use labels and avoid the use of abbreviations

Answer 1

Answer:

The 9th fastest time is 28 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a stem plot diagram of the time it took the students to grab a seat.

We need to find the 9th fastest time

To do this, we first need to list out the time in seconds:

13, 14, 15, 19, 19

21, 27, 27, 28

32

45, 49, 49

Since the right side is empty, there is no list of 50 plus

62, 62

combining the list (all in seconds):

13, 14, 15, 19, 19, 21, 27, 27, 28, 32, 45, 49, 49, 62, 62

The lower the number, the faster the time. Since the list is ordered in ascending order, we will count to the 9th place

The ninth place on the list = 28

The 9th fastest time a student took to go from his/her vehicle to a seat in the classroom is 28 seconds
