Use the data to create a stemplot.
-The normal monthly precipitation (in inches) for August is listed for 39 different U.S. cities. Construct an expanded stemplot with about 9 rows. $\begin{array} { l l l l l l l l l l l l l } 3.5 & 1.6 & 2.4 & 3.7 & 4.1 & 3.9 & 1.0 & 3.6 & 1.7 & 0.4 & 3.2 & 4.2 & 4.1 \end{array}$

To create a stemplot, we need to first separate the digits to the left and right of the decimal point. Then, we arrange them in ascending order from left to right. The stem is the digits to the left, and the leaf is the digits to the right. Each stem has one leaf for each corresponding value in the data set. An expanded stemplot means we have more rows and can separate the leaves further to show more detail.

For the given data set, the stems range from 0 to 4. We can have 9 rows by starting the plot from stem 0. Each row will have a stem value of 0.1, and the last row will have a stem value of 0.9.

Starting with the smallest stem, we can list the leaves that correspond to each value in the data set. For example, the first value is 0.1, so we put a leaf of 1 on the stem of 0. The second value is 0.4, so we put a leaf of 4 on the stem of 0. The rest of the data can be organized in a similar way.

The resulting stemplot shows the distribution of the data and highlights any outliers or clusters. Stemplot B is the correct choice as it displays the data in an organized and clear way.
