Question

Here are the 30 best lifetime baseball batting averages of all time, arranged in

order from lowest to highest:
0.329, 0.330, 0.331, 0.331,0.333, 0.333, 0.333, 0.334, 0.334, 0.334, 0.336,
0.337, 0.338, 0.338, 0.338, 0.340, 0.340, 0.341, 0.341, 0.342, 0.342, 0.342,
0.344, 0.344, 0.345, 0.346, 0.349, 0.356, 0.358, 0.366
A stemplot is one way to display these batting averages, as shown below. In
this type of display, the entry 0.3616 denotes one occurrence of the batting

Answer 1

D. 0.366

Explanation:

Hello!

A stemplot is a way of arranging a data set.

In the stem you'll find the integer and first two decimal digits of the batting average, because these values are repeated several times.

In the leafs you'll find the third decimal digit.

So for the first value of the stem "0.32" there is only one observation:

0.329 ⇒ 0.32 | 9

For the second value "0.33" correspond 14 observations: 0.330, 0.331, 0.331,0.333, 0.333, 0.333, 0.334, 0.334, 0.334, 0.336, 0.337, 0.338, 0.338, 0.338

0.33 | 0, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8

For the third value "0.34" correspond 12 observations: 0.340, 0.340, 0.341, 0.341, 0.342, 0.342, 0.342, 0.344, 0.344, 0.345, 0.346, 0.349

0.34 | 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 9

For the fifth value "0.35" and the sixth value "0.36" there is only one observation, so, as happened with the first one, these values of the stem will only have one "leaf"

0.358 ⇒ 0.35 | 8

0.366 ⇒ 0.36 | 6

So the whole stem plot for this 30 observations is:

Stem | Leafs

0.32 | 9

0.33 | 0, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8

0.34 | 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 9

0.35 | 8

0.36 | 6

Considering this, the correct option is D

I hope this helps!
