Math Problem Statement

Here is a data set summarized as a stem-and-leaf plot: 2#: 022234888 3#: 001123334568899 4#: 02566 5#: 367 How many data values are in this data set? What is the minimum value in the last class? What is the frequency of the modal class? How many of the original values are greater than 30?

Solution

Let’s analyze the stem-and-leaf plot in the image and answer the questions:

Stem-and-Leaf Plot

  • 2#: 022234888022234888 corresponds to 20,22,22,23,24,28,28,2820, 22, 22, 23, 24, 28, 28, 28.
  • 3#: 001123334568899001123334568899 corresponds to 30,30,31,32,33,33,33,34,35,36,38,38,3930, 30, 31, 32, 33, 33, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 38, 39.
  • 4#: 0256602566 corresponds to 40,42,45,46,4640, 42, 45, 46, 46.
  • 5#: 367367 corresponds to 53,56,5753, 56, 57.

Step-by-Step Answers:

  1. How many data values are in this dataset? Count all the values:

    • 2#: 88 values
    • 3#: 1313 values
    • 4#: 55 values
    • 5#: 33 values
      Total = 8+13+5+3=298 + 13 + 5 + 3 = 29.

    Answer: n=29n = 29.

  2. What is the minimum value in the last class? The last class (stem 55) contains 53,56,5753, 56, 57.
    The minimum value is 5353.

    Answer: 5353.

  3. What is the frequency of the modal class? The modal class is the class with the most data values.

    • 2#: 88 values
    • 3#: 1313 values (modal class)
    • 4#: 55 values
    • 5#: 33 values

    The modal class is 3#, and its frequency is 1313.

    Answer: 1313.

  4. How many of the original values are greater than 30? Values greater than 30 are from the stems 3#, 4#, and 5#. Count:

    • 3#: 1212 values (excluding 3030)
    • 4#: 55 values
    • 5#: 33 values
      Total = 12+5+3=2012 + 5 + 3 = 20.

    Answer: 2020.


Final Answers:

  1. n=29n = 29
  2. Minimum value in the last class=53\text{Minimum value in the last class} = 53
  3. Frequency of the modal class=13\text{Frequency of the modal class} = 13
  4. Values greater than 30=20\text{Values greater than 30} = 20
