Question

Use a stem-and-leaf plot to display the data. The data represents the amount of hours employees at a certain company spend driving to and from work for a given month. What can you conclude about the data? 39 38 47 25 60 54 40 52 23 41 35 36 48 50 57 65 34 37 Determine the leaves in the stem-and-leaf plot shown at the right. Stems Leaves (Key: 1 15-15) What can you conclude about the data? A. It appears that no employees commute more than 10 hours per week. o lt appears that every employee has a commute that is approximately 20 hours per week. ° C· lt appears that most employees spend more than 40 hours driving to and from work monthly. 0 D. It appears there are no employees that drive more than 50 hours per month driving to and from work. O E· It appears that most employees spend less than 60 hours driving to and from work monthly

Explanation / Answer

The stem and leaf plot plots the stem as the tenth place and keeps leaf as the units' place so., in 15 , 1 is stem and 5 is leaf

So., the stem leaf plot is provided below

The decimal point is 1 digit(s) to the right of the |

2 | 35
3 | 4567899
4 | 01478
5 | 0247
6 | 05

While looking at the above stem leaf plot we can say that most of the observations are from the leaf 3 to 5 and so.,

we can say that the avg time of commuattion remains between 30 to 50 hrs which makes (A,B,C,D) flase and we can conclude E as the right answer as it stats that most employees spend less than 60hrs driving since you can also see from the plot that there are only 2 observations which are >=60 hrs and so., the correct ans is E

Hope the above ans has helped you in understanding the problem pls upvote if it has really helped you. Good Luck!!
