To create a stem-and-leaf plot, we use the digits of each number to form the stem and leaf. The leaf represents the last digit, while the stem represents the remaining digits.
Based on the given data, we can construct the stem-and-leaf plots for Teddy Bear sunflowers grown in Soil A and Soil B:
Soil A:
0 | 9
1 | 5 0
2 | 1
5 | 2
Soil B:
0 | 9
2 | 3
3 | 8
5 | 1 6 7
7 | 0
In Soil A, the heights of Teddy Bear sunflowers are 90cm, 15cm, 10cm, and 52cm.
In Soil B, the heights of Teddy Bear sunflowers are 90cm, 23cm, 38cm, 51cm, 56cm, 57cm, and 70cm.
To interpret the given stem-and-leaf plot showing the heights of Teddy Bear sunflowers grown in two different types of soil, follow these steps:
1. Understand the structure of a stem-and-leaf plot: In a stem-and-leaf plot, the stems represent the tens place of the data values and the leaves represent the ones place. The stem values are listed on the left side of the plot, and the leaf values are listed to the right of each stem, separated by a vertical line.
2. Read the leaves for each stem: For Soil A, we have two stems, 5 and 21. The leaves for the stem 5 are 9, 2, 1, and 1. The leaves for the stem 21 are 0.
3. Interpret the data: By reading the leaves for each stem, we can determine the heights of Teddy Bear sunflowers in both Soil A and Soil B.
For Soil A:
- The sunflowers have a height of 59 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 52 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 51 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 51 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 60 cm.
For Soil B:
- The sunflowers have a height of 56 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 39 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 37 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 38 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 39 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 21 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 80 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 83 cm.
- The sunflowers have a height of 90 cm.
Note: The heights are in centimeters.
By analyzing the stem-and-leaf plot, you can identify the heights of Teddy Bear sunflowers grown in Soil A and Soil B.
