Question

Match the stem and leaf plot below to the correct set of data.

1 ∣ 6 means 1.6




1.5, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1, 2.1, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7


6, 5, 5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5


15, 15, 16, 21, 21, 21, 35, 36


1.5, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1, 2.1, 3.5, 3.6

Answer 1

To match the stem and leaf plot with the correct set of data, we first need to interpret the stem and leaf plot you provided:

- The stem is the whole number part, and the leaf is the decimal part.
- The notation "1 ∣ 6" means the value is 1.6.
- Therefore, if we summarize what the stem and leaf plot would show, we have:

```
1 | 5 5 6 (which corresponds to 1.5, 1.5, 1.6)
2 | 1 1 1 (which corresponds to 2.1, 2.1, 2.1)
3 | 5 6 7 (which corresponds to 3.5, 3.6, 3.7)
```

Now, let's look through the sets of data provided:

1. **Set: 1.5, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1, 2.1, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7**
This matches perfectly with our interpretation of the stem and leaf plot.

2. **Set: 6, 5, 5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5**
This does not correspond to any stem and leaf structure that matches our plot.

3. **Set: 15, 15, 16, 21, 21, 21, 35, 36**
This does not correspond either since it represents whole numbers and does not align with the decimal places; it seems to be out of the context of the stem and leaf format we are analyzing.

4. **Set: 1.5, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1, 2.1, 3.5, 3.6**
This is similar to the first set but is missing the value 3.7.

The correct match from the given options is:

**1.5, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1, 2.1, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7.**
