I know this is probably really easy and I just don't get is but...
which set of stems would be used for this set of data
A.1,2,3,4,5,6
B.1,2,3
C.0,2,3,4,6
D. 0,1,2,4,6
this is the set of data 19,18,23,24,32,32,16
and in which stem does most of the data fall?
A.1
B.2
C.3
D.4
please help
To determine which set of stems would be used for the given set of data and in which stem most of the data falls, we need to understand the concept of stem-and-leaf plots.
A stem-and-leaf plot is a way to organize and display data by showing the frequency distribution of a set of values. The stem represents the leading digit(s) of a data point, and the leaf represents the trailing digit(s).
For the given set of data (19, 18, 23, 24, 32, 32, 16), we can extract the leading digit(s) to create the stems. The stem is determined by the tens place, and the leaf is determined by the ones place.
Let's create a stem-and-leaf plot:
**Stem** | **Leaves**
--------|----------
1 | 6, 8, 9
2 | 3, 4
3 | 2, 2
4 | -
Based on the stem-and-leaf plot, we can determine that:
1. Set of stems: The set of stems that would be used for this set of data is C. 0, 2, 3, 4, 6 (C.0,2,3,4,6). The stems are extracted from the tens place of the data points.
2. Stem where most of the data falls: Looking at the stem-and-leaf plot, we can observe that most of the data falls in stem B.2 (B.2). This means that the majority of the data points have a tens digit of 2.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve the problem.
