the back-to-back stem-and-leaf plot below shows the ages of patients seen by two doctors in a family clinic one day. what is the difference between the age of the oldest patient seen by doctor 1.

I don't get it....

can someone please explain how to do this.... and possibly an example or 2
Your question doesn't make sense. Difference between the age of the oldest patient seen by doctor 1 and ????
and doctor 2 using the mean and median of each data set
which is
doctor 1 doctor 2
|3|5
920|2|00236
875|1|37
973211|0|2239
Key: means 29 <---9|2|3--->means 23

that's the question... but I need help to understand and examples to help me understand as well...
I'm sorry no one helped you. Here's what I got:
Doctor 1 - mean: 12 median: 12
Doctor 2 - mean: 14 median: 18.5

The only thing I don't understand is, how are we supposed to compare the two? Hope I helped you in some way.
Ms. Sue, you didn't even help the poor guy (or girl?). To compare, you have to find the range between the two. The range is 6 years.

If you don't understand #8, try to look back at your last question and explain how you got that or something

My mathematical proven answer adds all of my specific calculations to the specific answer that you asked to be a complete answer of the range being 6 years old.
If you have the same problem as "Saoirse" we get 18.5 because 20 and 17 we add them and they equal 37 and then we divide it (37/2) and get 18.5
#7 is C
Thank you !!

The median is the value in the middle of the data set when the numbers are arranged from least to greatest. The numbers in the data set for #8 were not organized, so you wouldn't add / divide 20 + 16. ^^

To find the median, you would need to rearrange the numbers for both data sets (As state above):
(Doctor 1) 1+1+2+3+7+9+15+17+18+20+22+29+32
(Doctor 2) 2+3+9+13+15+17+20+22+23+26+35

So actually, the median would be 15 for doctor 1 and The median for Doctor 2 is 32 (the median is the mean of 15 and 17. 15+17/2 = 32.)
Hope this helps, ciao :)
