Example 2: The GPAs of 20 students are listed. Make a stem-and-leaf plot for this data.
1.8 2.9 0.9 4.0 3.3
2.4 2.3 1.6 1.6 4.0
1.7 0.5 3.6 3.4 1.9
4.0 2.1 1.9 1.1 0.5

How do I make a stem and leaf plot for these numbers?

Answer/Step-by-step Explanation:

To create a stem-and-leaf plot for the GPAs of the 20 students that were listed in the above question, take the following steps:

Step 1: for easy plotting, write down the GPAs in an ordered manner, that is, from the smallest value to the largest.

0.5, 0.5, 0.9, 1.1, 1.6, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.9, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 2.9, 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 4.0,  4.0,  4.0

Step 2: divide each set of data into a stem and a leaf. For example, for a GPA, 0.5, 0 would be the stem, while 5 would be the leaf.

For a GPA listed, 2.9, 2 is the stem, 9 is the leaf. Same applies to all the other GPAs.

Step 3: All stems should be written in ascending order, vertically, from the smallest to the largest. From the listed GPAs, you would observe that the highest stem value would be 4, while the lowest would be 0.

Therefore, write down your stems vertically, in ascending order as shown below:

0 |

1 |

2 |

3 |

4 |

Step 4: All leaves should be written also in ascending order to their corresponding stem, from the smallest to the largest, as shown below:

Stem | Leaf

0 | 5 5 9

1 | 1 6 6 7 8 9 9

2 | 1 3 4 9

3 | 3 4 6

4 | 0 0 0

Thus,

0 | 5 5 9 represents => 0.5, 0.5, 0.9

step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7  

care to share were the trapezoid shown is ?
