Chapter 2.3, Problem 10P
Expand Your Knowledge: Back-to-Back Stem Plot In archaeology, the depth (below surface grade) at which artifacts are found is very important. Greater depths sometimes indicate older artifacts, perhaps from a different archaeological period. Figure 2-17 is a back-to-back stem plot showing the depths of artifact locations at two different archaeological sites. These sites are from similar geographic locations. Notice that the stems are in the center of the diagram. The leaves for Sue I artifact depths are shown to the left the stem. While the leaves for Site II are to the right of the stem (Reference: Mimbres Mogollon Archaeology by A. I. Woosley and A. J. McIntyre. University of New Mexico Press).
(a) What are the least and greatest depths of artifact finds at Site I? at Site II?
(b) Describe the data distribution of depths of artifact finds at Site I and at Site II.
(c) Interpretation At Site II. there is a gap in the depths at which artifacts were found. Does the Site II data distribution suggest that there might have been a period of no occupation?

Two dot plots show the number of miles run by 14 students at the beginning and at the end of the school year.
In complete sentences, compare the dot plots by discussing their means, medians, and ranges.
The scatter plot gives the average atmospheric concentration of a gas and the average global temperature for six
selected years. Shown on the scatter plot is a line that passes through or near the six points. Use this line to
answer the questions in parts a. to d. (A calculator is recommended.)
