Sure! Let's break down the problem step by step. --- ## **Problem Explanation** You are given a **list of daily high temperatures** for a city during January and February. The temperatures are: ``` 52, 60, 57, 55, 63, 68, 73, 53, 62, 77, 59, 66, 61, 76, 50, 48, 61, 60, 70 ``` ### **Question** > Construct a stem-and-leaf plot using the digits 4, 5, 6, and 7 as the stems. > Do **not repeat** the stems in the answer. > If there are no leaves, specify the stem, but leave it blank. --- ## **What is a Stem-and-Leaf Plot?** A **stem-and-leaf plot** is a way to organize data so you can see its shape and distribution. - **Stem:** Represents the leading digit(s) (here: tens). - **Leaf:** Represents the trailing digit (here: ones). **Example:** If we have 57: - Stem = 5 - Leaf = 7 --- ## **Step 1: Organize the Data** Let's sort the data to make it easier: ``` 48, 50, 52, 53, 55, 57, 59, 60, 60, 61, 61, 62, 63, 66, 68, 70, 73, 76, 77 ``` --- ## **Step 2: Make the Stem-and-Leaf Plot** - Stems: 4, 5, 6, 7 (the tens digit) - Leaves: The ones digit for each temperature ### **Stem 4 (40-49)** - 48 ### **Stem 5 (50-59)** - 50, 52, 53, 55, 57, 59 ### **Stem 6 (60-69)** - 60, 60, 61, 61, 62, 63, 66, 68 ### **Stem 7 (70-79)** - 70, 73, 76, 77 --- ## **Step 3: Write It Out** | Stem | Leaves | |------|------------------| | 4 | 8 | | 5 | 2 3 5 7 9 | | 6 | 1 1 2 3 6 8 | | 7 | 3 6 7 | --- ## **How to Enter Answer** Based on the interface in your image: - Enter the leaves for each stem in order, separated by spaces. - If a stem has no leaves, leave it blank. So, for your answer you would enter: ``` 4 | 8 5 | 2 3 5 7 9 6 | 1 1 2 3 6 8 7 | 3 6 7 ``` Or, using the box format from your image: - Stem: 4 | Leaves: 8 - Stem: 5 | Leaves: 2 3 5 7 9 - Stem: 6 | Leaves: 1 1 2 3 6 8 - Stem: 7 | Leaves: 3 6 7 --- ## **Summary** A stem-and-leaf plot helps you quickly see the distribution of the data. Each "stem" is a group of tens, and each "leaf" is a single unit in that group. Let me know if you have more questions or want to try another example!
