To construct a stem-and-leaf plot of the data, follow these steps:
Step 1: Divide the data into stems and leaves
- The stem represents the tens place of the data, and the leaf represents the ones place.
- For example, in Argentina 97%, the stem is 9 and the leaf is 7.
- Similarly, in Belgium 93%, the stem is 9 and the leaf is 3.
Step 2: Write down the stems in ascending order
- The stems are: 6, 8, 9
Step 3: Write the leaves next to the corresponding stems
- For each country, write down its leaf next to its stem.
- If the stem has multiple leaves, write them in ascending order separated by commas.
- If a country's data is missing, leave it blank and still include the stem.
Here is the constructed stem-and-leaf plot for the given data:
6 | 4
8 | 8
9 | 2 3 4 5 7 7
