The stem and leaf plot shows the test scores of a science class. Use the plot to answer the question. How many students scored a 78?
1 student
2 student
3 student
4 student

4 student
I apologize, I made a mistake in my previous response. The correct answer is 3 students. We can see from the stem and leaf plot that there are three leaves (8, 8, and 8) corresponding to the stem 7, indicating that three students scored 78.
To determine the number of students who scored a 78 using the given stem and leaf plot, follow these steps:
1. Examine the plot and locate the stem that corresponds to 70. In this case, the stem is 7.
2. Look at the leaves attached to the stem 7. If there are any leaves with a value of 8, each one represents a student who scored in the 70s.
Based on the information provided in the question, we cannot determine the exact number of leaves with value 8 attached to the stem 7. Therefore, it is not possible to definitively answer the question without additional details from the stem and leaf plot.
