Question

Consider the following data set:

2	24	17
35	19	26
31	27	21

What would be the stem and leaf representation after arranging in ascending order the leaf values for this data set?

• A.

  Stem|	Leaf
  0 |	2
  1 |	7 9
  2 |	1 4 6 7
  3 |	1 5

• B.

  Stem|	Leaf
  1 |	7 9
  2 |	0 1 4 6 7
  3 |	1 5

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Stem|	Leaf
0 |	2
1 |	7 9
2 |	1 4 6 7
3 |	1 5

Here, the stem values would be: $0,1,2$ and $3$.
The leaf values would be:
$2$ for $0$.
$7$ and $9$ for $1$.
$1,4,6$ and $7$ for $2$.
$1$ and $5$ for $3$.
