Answer:

24

Explanation:

In a stem-and-leaf plot, each leaf represents a number or piece of data.

Each the leaf will only show the last digit of the number, and the stem will have the rest.

Examples:

stem value of 1 with a leaf value of 2 = 12

a stem value of 3 with a leaf value of 0 = 30

So, this is your plot:

Stems| Leaves

1 | 2 3 5

2 | 8 8

3 | 0

4 | 2

Your data is 12, 13, 15, 28, 28, 30, 42.

Add up all these numbers and divide by the number of leaves.

Sum of data = 12 + 13 + 15 + 28 + 28 + 30 + 42 = 168

Number of leaves = 7

168 ÷ 7 = 24

The mean is the values in the stem-and-leaf plot is 24.
