Consider the following stem and leaf plot:
$$\begin{array} { c l }
\text { Stem } & \text { Leaf } \
1 & 0,2,5,7 \
2 & 2,3,4,8 \
3 & 0,4,6,6,9 \
4 & 5,8,8,9 \
5 & 2,7,8
\end{array}$$
Suppose that a frequency distribution was developed from this plot, and there were 5 classes (10-under 20, 20-under 30, etc.).What was the lowest number in the data set?
A)0
B)10
C)7
D)2
E)1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lowest number in the data set, according to the stem and leaf plot, is 10. This is because the smallest stem is 1 and the smallest leaf in that stem is 0, combining to form the number 10.
