Explanations
1. In a stem-and-leaf plot, the leaf is always the last digit in the number (the ones place), and the
stem is the entire number except the last digit (that is the tens place or the tens place and
hundreds place).
There are 19 numbers in this data set. To find the mean, add all of the numbers together and
divide by 19. Once the answer is determined, round to the nearest hundredths place.
2,021 ÷ 19 = 106.37
2. To find the mean, divide the total number of cookbooks sold by the total number of days
Annita sold cookbooks outside the grocery store.
37 ÷ 7 = 5.2857142857
The answer that is closest to the mean when rounded to the nearest whole number is 5.
So, Annita sold approximately 5 cookbooks each day.
3. To find the range, subtract the original plant height from the height at the end of the sixth
week.
First, find the range for the basil plant.
17 cm - 4 cm = 13 cm
Next, find the range for the mint plant.
11 cm - 1 cm = 10 cm
Last, find the difference in the ranges.
13 cm - 10 cm = 3 cm
4. In May, there were about 5,500 dollars in sales.
In June, there were 8,000 dollars in sales.
In July, there were about 2,500 dollars in sales.
In August, there were 7,000 dollars in sales.
To find the median amount, put the monthly amounts in order from least to greatest.
$2,500, $5,500, $7,000, $8,000
Since there are 4 amounts, the median amount will be the average of the two middle amounts.
Therefore, the median amount is $6,250.
5. The dots on this scatter plot have a pattern. As a team's salary increases, its winning
percentage increases as well. This shows a positive relationship between the two variables.
6. To find the mean, add each value and divide by 20.
Therefore, the mean is $36.50.
7. The lowest number on the stem side is 711; the lowest number on the leaf side for that stem is
3. Thus, the lowest number on the plot is 7,113.
The highest number on the stem side is 715; the highest number on the leaf side for that stem is
8. Thus, the highest number on the plot is 7,158.
The range of the given data set is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value
of the set. Subtract 7,113 from 7,158 to find the range.
8. First, write the numbers in ascending order.
16, 24, 25, 31, 33, 33, 34, 38, 40, 42, 52, 58, 64, 64, 67, 68, 72
Then, find the median of the set of numbers.
16, 24, 25, 31, 33, 33, 34, 38, 40, 42, 52, 58, 64, 64, 67, 68, 72
Next, find the median of the numbers below 40. Since there are 8 numbers, average the middle
values.
16, 24, 25, 31, 33, 33, 34, 38, 40, 42, 52, 58, 64, 64, 67, 68, 72
Next, find the median of the numbers above 40. Since there are 8 numbers, average the middle
values.
16, 24, 25, 31, 33, 33, 34, 38, 40, 42, 52, 58, 64, 64, 67, 68, 72
The extreme values are 16 and 72.
Therefore, box plot W is the correct choice.
9. A best-fit line drawn on the scatter plot (a line that represents that average of the points on the
plot) would cross the 5-hour rehearsal line at approximately 31 competitions won.
10. Quartiles separate a data set into 4 equal parts and each of the parts contains 1/4 of the data.
On the box-and-whisker plot, 67 is the first quartile.
To determine the interquartile range of the data, subtract the first quartile, (67), from the third
quartile (89).
89 - 67 = 22
Therefore, the correct order of the data is 22, 67.
