OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Do you know how to read a stem-and-leaf plot?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thinks its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

What's D?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

D as in "none of the above"?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

If so, then you are incorrect.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

The key can help you.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

The stem is the tens number. Example: 15. 1 would be the stem. 71. 7 would be the stem. The leaf is the ones number. Example: 15. 5 would be the leaf. 71. 1 would be the leaf.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I read the key

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

So what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you thinks it is B the look at the key

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

It is not B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really i know that but it cant be the other answer either I know you think its C but it cant be that

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

How come?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because of the key on the left

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

They key on the left is for Mrs.Jame's class.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

You basically switch the number around. Since Mrs. Jame's class is on the left side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if its 8/6 then its 68%

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

No. It would be 68.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what I just said

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Oh. My bad. You are correct. Sorry! Misread. >_>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
