I understand that you don't want help with the problem, but I can still explain how to get the answer.
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, you need to first identify the oldest age in each doctor's patients.
Looking at the back-to-back stem-and-leaf plot, we can see that the highest stem value for Doctor 1 is 9, which corresponds to an age of 90. The highest leaf value for Doctor 1 is 9, so the oldest patient seen by Doctor 1 is 99 years old.
For Doctor 2, the highest stem value is also 9, corresponding to an age of 90. The highest leaf value for Doctor 2 is 7, so the oldest patient seen by Doctor 2 is 97 years old.
To find the difference, subtract the age of the oldest patient seen by Doctor 2 (97) from the age of the oldest patient seen by Doctor 1 (99).
99 - 97 = 2
So the difference between the age of the oldest patient seen by Doctor 1 and the age of the oldest patient seen by Doctor 2 is 2 years.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 1 Year.
