The stem-and-leaf plot shows the number of cans of food collected by various students for a food drive. How many students collected more than 43 cans?
Stem | Leaves
3 | 0 1 1 1 4 4 4
4 | 0 1 3 4 4 5
5 | 0 3 3 6 8
Key: 3 | 5 means 35
A. 8*
B. 5
C. 7
D. 9
Well, it seems like those students really know how to stock up on cans for a food drive! Let's take a look at the stem-and-leaf plot to find the answer.
From the plot, we can see that the stem 4 has leaves of 0, 1, 3, 4, 4, and 5. These represent 40, 41, 43, 44, 44, and 45 cans. So, we have a total of 6 students who collected 44 cans or less.
Looking at the stem 5, we have leaves of 0, 3, 3, 6, and 8. These represent 50, 53, 53, 56, and 58 cans. So, we have a total of 5 students who collected 58 cans or less.
Adding these two groups of students together, we get a total of 6 + 5 = 11 students who collected 58 cans or less.
Since the question asks for the number of students who collected MORE than 43 cans, we need to subtract these 11 students from the total number of students in the plot.
Therefore, the answer is D. 9, as there are 9 students who collected more than 43 cans. They really went above and beyond!
To determine the number of students who collected more than 43 cans, you need to examine the stems that are greater than 4, as the stems represent the tens digit of the number of cans.
Looking at the stem-and-leaf plot, the only stem greater than 4 is 5. The leaves under the stem 5 are 0, 3, 3, 6, and 8, which represent the number of ones. To find the total number of students who collected more than 43 cans, you count the number of leaves under the stem 5.
Counting the leaves, we find that there are 5 leaves under the stem 5. Therefore, the answer is B. 5 students collected more than 43 cans.
To determine how many students collected more than 43 cans, you need to examine the stem-and-leaf plot.
Looking at the stem-and-leaf plot, we see that the stem values represent tens, while the leaf values represent ones.
The plot shows the following values for the number of cans collected by each student:
- Three students collected 40, 41, and 44 cans.
- Four students collected 50, 51, 53, and 54 cans.
- Five students collected 60, 63, 63, and 68 cans.
To find the number of students who collected more than 43 cans, we need to add up the number of leaf values that are larger than 3.
There are 4 leaf values larger than 3: 4, 4, 5, and 8.
Therefore, the number of students who collected more than 43 cans is 4.
So, the answer is A. 8.
