Answer 1

In a stem-and-leaf plot, the stems would consist of the tens digits of the data, and the leaves would consist of the ones digits of the data.

For the given data from the table, the stems would be: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
And the corresponding leaves would be:
- 4: 8
- 5: 8
- 6: 7
- 7: 0, 1, 3, 5
- 8: 2, 3, 8, 9
- 9: 0

So, the stem-and-leaf plot representation of the data would look something like this:

4 | 8
5 | 8
6 | 7
7 | 0 1 3 5
8 | 2 3 8 9
9 | 0
