Answer 1

Match the plot with a possible description of the sample. A stem-and-leaf plot has the following data, where the stems are listed first and the leaves are listed second:

18, 0 1 1 3 3 4 5 ;

19, 0 9 ;

20, 0 5 6 7 7 7 ;

21, 1 1 4 7 9

. Below the plot, a key reads: Key 18|0 = 180. 18 19 20 21 0

Choose the correct answer below.

Answer: A. Top speeds left parenthesis in miles per hour right parenthesis of a sample of sports cars

B. Ages left parenthesis in years right parenthesis of a sample of residents of a retirement home

C. Time left parenthesis in minutes right parenthesis it takes a sample of employees to drive to work

D. Highest yearly temperature left parenthesis degrees Upper F right parenthesis for a sample of deserts

Note:

From the plot the data list are ( 180,181,181,183,183,184,185, 190,199……..217,219).

Therefore our data range is 180 to 219.

sports cars can run in the speed of 180 to 219 MPH

Age in years range is about 0 to 120. So B is not correct option.

Highest temperature range is about 100 F to 140F. So D is not correct option.

180 to 219 minutes time to drive to work is of very high values. So C is not correct option.

So option A is correct answer.
