Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. Use the given data to construct a stem-and-leaf plot. The midterm test scores for the seventh-period typing class are:
85,77,93,91,74,65,68,97,88,59,74,83,85,72,63,79
and the question is...?
To construct a stem-and-leaf plot using the given data, you need to first separate each score into a stem and a leaf. The stem represents the tens place, and the leaf represents the ones place.
Here is the stem-and-leaf plot for the given midterm test scores:
Stem | Leaves
-----
5 | 9
6 | 3, 5, 8
7 | 2, 4, 4, 7, 9
8 | 5, 8
9 | 1, 3, 7
In this plot, the stem values are listed on the left side, and the corresponding leaves are shown on the right side. For example, the first row "5 | 9" means that there is one score in the 50s, which is 59.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
