Expert Solution
Step 1

Steps for Stem-and-leaf diagram:

  • In stem plot each of the observation is separated into two parts, the leading digit is the stem and the remaining digit is the leaf.
  • All the stem values are shown vertically in one column towards left side of vertical line.
  • The leaf values are placed for each of the corresponding stem to the right of the vertical line. The leaf values also starts with a smaller value.

The data set in the ascending order is, 9, 20, 27, 27, 30, 33, 35, 35, 37, 38, 38, 42, 42, 45, 45, 45, 50, 50, 50, 51, 51, 55, 59, 60, 68, 71, 83, 87, 89, and 90.
