Math Problem Statement

Graphical reasoning:find the range of the data setrepresented by the display or graph.

Solution

The image provided shows a stem-and-leaf plot with the following dataThe image provided shows a stem-and-leaf plot with the following

  • Stem: 0 | Leaves: 5, 5, 9
  • Stem: 1 | Leaves: 1, 3, 4, 6, 9
  • Stem: 2 | Leaves: 5, 7, 9, 9
  • Stem: 3 | Leaves: 0, 1, 5, 5, 5, 5
  • Stem: 4 | Leaves: 7, 7, 9
  • Stem: 5 | Leaves: 3, 4, 7
  • Stem: 6 | Leaves: 3, 4, 7

Key:

The key indicates that a stem of "0" and a leaf of "5" corresponds to the value 0.5.

To find the range of the dataThe image provided shows a stem-and-leaf plot with the following

  • Stem: 0 | Leaves: 5, 5, 9
  • Stem: 1 | Leaves: 1, 3, 4, 6, 9
  • Stem: 2 | Leaves: 5, 7, 9, 9
  • Stem: 3 | Leaves: 0, 1, 5, 5, 5, 5
  • Stem: 4 | Leaves: 7, 7, 9
  • Stem: 5 | Leaves: 3, 4, 7
  • Stem: 6 | Leaves: 3, 4, 7

Key:

The key indicates that a stem of "0" and a leaf of "5" corresponds to the value 0.5.

To find the range of the

  1. Smallest Value:

    • The smallest value is in the first stem (0) with a leaf of 5, which represents 0.5.
  2. Largest Value:

    • The largest value is in the last stem (6) with a leaf of 7, which represents 6.7.

Range Calculation:

Range=Largest ValueSmallest Value=6.70.5=6.2\text{Range} = \text{Largest Value} - \text{Smallest Value} = 6.7 - 0.5 = 6.2

Range of the data set: 6.2
