Math Problem Statement
Solution
It seems that you have shared a stem-and-leaf plot regarding an actor's performance ratings. I will first address the question you asked about the median rating if 2 points are added to each rating and then converted to a 20-point scale.
Step-by-Step Process for Question 9:
-
Extract the Data from the Stem-and-Leaf Plot: The stem-and-leaf plot shows the following ratings:
- 46 (stem 4, leaf 6)
- 50, 51, 52, 53 (stem 5, leaf 0, 1, 2, 3)
- 60, 62, 63, 67, 68 (stem 6, leaf 0, 2, 3, 7, 8)
- 76 (stem 7, leaf 6)
- 83, 83 (stem 8, leaf 3, 3)
The full list of ratings is:
46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 60, 62, 63, 67, 68, 76, 83, 83 -
Add 2 Points to Each Rating: If 2 points are added to each rating, we get the following new values:
- 48, 52, 53, 54, 55, 62, 64, 65, 69, 70, 78, 85, 85
-
Convert to 20-Point Scale: To convert the ratings to a 20-point scale, we divide each rating by 5:
-
Find the Median: The ordered ratings on the 20-point scale are:
- 9.6, 10.4, 10.6, 10.8, 11.0, 12.4, 12.8, 13.0, 13.8, 14.0, 15.6, 17.0, 17.0
The median is the middle value. Since there are 13 ratings, the median is the 7th value in the ordered list: 12.8.
Conclusion:
The median rating after adding 2 points to each rating and converting to a 20-point scale is 12.8.
Would you like further explanations or help with other parts of the question, such as calculating the interquartile range (IQR)?
Here are some additional related questions:
- How do you calculate the first quartile (Q1) and third quartile (Q3)?
- What steps would you take to calculate the interquartile range (IQR) in a dataset?
- How does adding a constant value to each data point affect the median and other measures of central tendency?
- What is the difference between a stem-and-leaf plot and a box plot?
- How can you use a stem-and-leaf plot to find the range of a dataset?
Tip: When converting values to a smaller scale (like from 100 to 20), make sure to divide each value by the appropriate factor to maintain the correct proportion.
