jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

were you able to get anywhere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it might help to expand out that stem and leaf plot

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the first row that has 2 | 4 5 8 9 represents the values 24, 25, 28, 29 each number is in thousands

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what are the other data values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not understanding what your saying.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm turning that stem and leaf plot into it's expanded form

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

have you learned about stem and leaf plots at all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok have a look at this page http://www.purplemath.com/modules/stemleaf.htm and tell me if it makes sense or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you please explain to me how can i get my answer above.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let's say we had the stem and leaf plot 2| 1 3 5 3| 7 4| 9 it would expand into 21, 23, 25, 37, 49 because the numbers on the left side are the stems (the tens digit) and the "leaves" are the numbers on the right side so if you have a stem of 2 and leaf of 1, then you have the data value 21 see how it works?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok so go ahead and break apart the stem and leaf plot you're given and write out the data values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

34,500

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

not sure what you're saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for my answer ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
