Question

A stem and leaf plot. The stems are 0, 2, 9, 20. The first column of leaves are 5, 3, 1, 8. The second column of leaves are blank, 6, 4, blank. The third column of leaves are blank, blank, 5, blank. Key: 20 line 8 = 208.
Which data set is shown by the stem and leaf plot?

5, 3, 6, 1, 4, 5, 8
5, 23, 26, 91, 94, 95, 208
500, 236, 9145, 208
500, 302, 602, 109, 409, 509, 820

Answer 1

The second set: 5, 23, 26, 91, 94, 95, 208.

Reason: number = (stem × 10) + leaf (given key: 20 | 8 = 208). From the leaves: 0|5 = 5; 2|3 = 23, 2|6 = 26; 9|1 = 91, 9|4 = 94, 9|5 = 95; 20|8 = 208.
