Question

Help!! Which one is it?

Answer 1

Answer: Choices A and C

Reason:

• A) The mode is 134 because the leaf 4 shows up the most for the stem of 13, and for any other stem as well. In other words, stem = 13 and leaf = 4 combine to the value 134 which shows up the most (a total of 5 times) compared to the other numbers. Therefore, we have a true statement.
• B) In the first row, the leaf 1 shows up three times. This leads to the number 101 (not 111) showing up 3 times. Therefore, statement B is false.
• C) This is also true. Visually the length of the leaves for the stem 13 is the longest. We have 8 leaves here which is the most of any other row.
• D) This is false. The leaf counts for the rows from top to bottom are: 6, 4, 0, 8, 2, 3. Those numbers add up to 23. This means there are 23 values (not 20) in the data set.
