Question

Runs scored by a team in $5$ matchs are $223,245,220,200$ and $241.$
The possible value(s) of stem are -

• A. $2$
• B. $20$
• C. $200$
• D. $24$

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

$24$

All the numbers in the given data set start with $2,$ i.e., the hundred place values are same for all the numbers.

Hence, we need to include the tens place digit in the stem column to get useful comparative data along with the hundreds place digit.
The ones place digits are included in the leaf column.

Example:
The stem and leaf plot is as follows: Stem Leaf

$20$ $22$ $24$	$0$ $0,3$ $1,5$

Here,
$\text{Key}:24|1$ means $241.$

$\therefore$ Options (b) and (d) are correct.
