Answer 10

@iGreen can you help me with a question

Answer 11

@ghfhjk I'll help, but you shouldn't go on other people's posts and ask for help. You can tag them by using the '@' symbol.

Answer 12

spose we are comparing the prices of the new cars at the dealership; this is a good use of stem and leaf since all the data corresponds to some dollar dollar amount and is of the same type.

Answer 13

Right, I get what you're saying.

Answer 14

@iGreen it wont let me post my question but heres my question
Hexagon DEFGHI is translated on the coordinate plane below to create hexagon D'E'F'G'H'I':

Which rule represents the translation of hexagon DEFGHI to hexagon D'E'F'G'H'I'?
(x, y)→(x - 8, y - 7)
(x, y)→(x - 7, x - 8)
(x, y)→(x - 4, x - 5)
(x, y)→(x - 5, y - 4)

Answer 15

Neighborhoods usually have the same types of houses..so won't most of the inches in their living rooms be the same? @amistre64

Answer 16

doesnt matter how 'the same' the measurements are. just as long as we are measuring the same thing over and over again

Answer 17

1 stem with 20 leaves is still a stem and leaf

2:0,0,0,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,4,5,5,5 etc

Answer 18

Right..but when I think of a stem and leaf plot I think of values that are similar..

Answer 19

B would need to be read as: the number of bathroom/bedrooms per house; but as is, it reads more to me like its trying to define 2 seperate counts instead of a unified count

Answer 20

Right, it says bedrooms and bathrooms in each house..which sounds like too much information for a stem and leaf plot.

Answer 21

since A and B are expressing to me the same thing, they cant both be right :) and since D is out, C would be the most opportune option to me ... but thats just my opinion :)

Answer 22

Thanks! That's what I think.
