The answers are a, c, d, c, d, d, c. That's it. But only use this if you seriously need it. And your welcome
Got 100% thanks
yes that is right
What were the other answers?
To find the difference between the age of the oldest patient seen by Doctor 1 and the age of the oldest patient seen by Doctor 2, we need to determine the maximum ages for both doctors and then calculate the difference.
Looking at the stem-and-leaf plot for Doctor 1, the leaves on the second row represent the ages. The highest leaf value is 9, which corresponds to the stem 3. Therefore, the maximum age seen by Doctor 1 is 39.
Next, we examine the stem-and-leaf plot for Doctor 2. The leaves on the second row represent the ages as well. The highest leaf value is 9, which corresponds to the stem 0. Thus, the maximum age seen by Doctor 2 is 9.
To find the difference, we subtract the age of the oldest patient seen by Doctor 2 (9) from the age of the oldest patient seen by Doctor 1 (39). The calculation is as follows:
39 - 9 = 30
Therefore, the difference between the ages of the oldest patients seen by Doctor 1 and Doctor 2 is 30 years. However, none of the options provided match this result.
