To create a stem-and-leaf plot from the dataset {55, 46, 37, 44, 62, 63, 36, 30}, we first separate the numbers into stems (the tens place) and leaves (the ones place):

  • 30 → Stem: 3, Leaf: 0
  • 36 → Stem: 3, Leaf: 6
  • 37 → Stem: 3, Leaf: 7
  • 44 → Stem: 4, Leaf: 4
  • 46 → Stem: 4, Leaf: 6
  • 55 → Stem: 5, Leaf: 5
  • 62 → Stem: 6, Leaf: 2
  • 63 → Stem: 6, Leaf: 3

Now, we organize the stems (the tens place values) and list the corresponding leaves (the ones place values):

  • Stem 3: Leaves 0, 6, 7
  • Stem 4: Leaves 4, 6
  • Stem 5: Leaf 5
  • Stem 6: Leaves 2, 3

From this organization, the leaves on the bottom row (stem 6) are 2 and 3.

Thus, the correct response is:

6, 7

Therefore, this response selection seems incorrect as the actual bottom row leaves are 2 and 3 under the stem of 6.

If you have to choose from the given options, the correct answer should be focused on the values mentioned. Please confirm the correct answer from the options if possible.
