Chapter SH, Problem 16.4E

To determine

Draw a stem- and-leaf plot for given set of data.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given set of data is

  $0.8,0.2,1.4,3.5,4.3,4.5,2.6,2.2$

Calculation:

Stem- and-leaf plot $\to$ it is a table in which each data value is split into a stem (the first digit(s)) and a leaf (the last digit). In the decimal case, each leaf is a decimal.

Rearrange the set of data.

  $0.2,0.8,1.4,2.2,2.6,3.5,4.3,4.5$

Hence the stem- and-leaf plot for given set of data is given below.

Stem	Leaf
$\begin{array}{l}0\\ 1\\ 2\\ 3\\ 4\end{array}$	$\begin{array}{l}28\\ 4\\ 26\\ 5\\ 35\end{array}$
