Math Problem Statement

A secondary school basketball coach counted the number of points his team scored each game. What is the largest number of points?

Solution

The image you've uploaded shows a stem-and-leaf plot representing the number of points a basketball team scored in different games. Here's how to interpret the dataThe image you've uploaded shows a stem-and-leaf plot representing the number of points a basketball team scored in different games. Here's how to interpret the

  • The stem represents the tens digit.
  • The leaf represents the units digit.

Let's break down the largest number:

  • Stem 9 has a leaf of 0, representing 90 points.
  • This is the largest number, as no other stems have larger numbers.

Therefore, the largest number of points scored is 90 points.

Do you have any questions or want a more detailed explanation?

Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What is the smallest number of points scored?
  2. How many games resulted in a score between 70 and 79 points?
  3. What is the median number of points scored?
  4. How would you calculate the mode from the stem-and-leaf plot?
  5. Can you determine the range of the scores from the data?

Tip: When reading a stem-and-leaf plot, always combine the stem (tens) and leaf (units) to form the full numbers!
