Required

Make a stem and leaf plot

We have:

[tex]58, 52, 68, 86, 72, 66, 97, 89, 84, 91[/tex]

[tex]91, 92, 66, 68, 87, 86, 73, 61, 70, 75, 72, 73[/tex]

[tex]85, 84, 90, 57, 77, 76, 84, 93, 58, 47[/tex]

Categorize the dataset according to tens

[tex]47[/tex]

[tex]52, 57, 58, 58[/tex]

[tex]61, 66, 66, 68, 68[/tex]

[tex]70, 72, 72, 73, 73, 75, 76, 77[/tex]

[tex]84, 84, 84, 85, 86, 86, 87, 89[/tex]

[tex]90, 91, 91, 92, 93, 97[/tex]

So, the stem and leaf plot is:

[tex]\begin{array}{cc}{Stem} & {Leaves} & {4} & {7} & {5} & {2, 7, 8, 8} & {6} & {1, 6, 6, 8, 8} & {7} & {0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7} & {8} & {4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 9} & {9} & {0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 7} \ \end{array}[/tex]
