Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's work through each part of the problem shown in the image:
A. Calculate the mean, median, and mode for the data in the plot.
We need to first extract the data from the stem-and-leaf plot. Here's the dataLet's work through each part of the problem shown in the image:
A. Calculate the mean, median, and mode for the data in the plot.
We need to first extract the data from the stem-and-leaf plot. Here's the
- First row:
- Second row:
- Third row:
So, the complete dataset is:
1. Mean:
The mean is the sum of the data divided by the number of values. Let's calculate the mean.
2. Median:
The median is the middle value of the dataset. Since there are 15 numbers, the 8th number is the median. The sorted dataset is: The 8th value is , so the median is .
3. Mode:
The mode is the number that appears most frequently. In this dataset, the number appears three times, making it the mode.
B. Create a box-and-whisker plot to represent the stem-and-leaf plot.
To create the box-and-whisker plot, we need the five-number summary:
- Minimum: The smallest value is .
- First Quartile (Q1): This is the median of the first half of the data. The first half of the dataset (before the median ) is: The median of this subset is , so .
- Median (Q2): The median is (as calculated earlier).
- Third Quartile (Q3): This is the median of the second half of the data. The second half of the dataset (after the median ) is: The median of this subset is , so .
- Maximum: The largest value is .
Now, we have the five-number summary:
- Minimum = 0
- Q1 = 2
- Median (Q2) = 4
- Q3 = 7
- Maximum = 9
C. Find the Interquartile Range (IQR).
The interquartile range is the difference between the third quartile (Q3) and the first quartile (Q1):
Summary of Results:
- Mean: To be calculated.
- Median: 4
- Mode: 2
- Five-number summary:
- Minimum = 0
- Q1 = 2
- Median = 4
- Q3 = 7
- Maximum = 9
- Interquartile Range (IQR): 5
Let me calculate the mean next.The mean of the data is .
Final Summary:
- Mean: 4.2
- Median: 4
- Mode: 2
- Five-number summary:
- Minimum = 0
- Q1 = 2
- Median = 4
- Q3 = 7
- Maximum = 9
- Interquartile Range (IQR): 5
Would you like more details on any part, or assistance with creating a detailed box-and-whisker plot?
Here are five related questions:
- What are the steps for creating a stem-and-leaf plot?
- How do we interpret a box-and-whisker plot?
- Can a dataset have more than one mode?
- How do quartiles divide a dataset?
- What are other measures of spread besides the interquartile range?
Tip: When analyzing data, always check for outliers, which are values significantly different from others. These can be identified using the IQR.
