Explanation / Answer

I am solving the first problem as per Chegg guidelines, post multiple question to get the remaining answers

Q1)

In the stem and leaf plot, stem will be given by hundreths place and leaf will be given by units and tens place

First we need to sort the number in ascending order for easy creation of stem-leaf plot

Hence the sorted list of numbers will be
