Answer 7

B only has one entry, is that a typo?

Answer 8

no thats how its written

Answer 9

i see

Answer 10

what is the smallest number you're given in the original data set

Answer 11

130

Answer 12

so 13 is your smallest stem

Answer 13

the leaf for that stem is 0

Answer 14

well one of the leaves

Answer 15

the largest is 182

so 18 is the largest stem

Answer 16

you will start at the smallest stem and count up 1 at a time (even if there are no leaves for that stem) until you reach the largest stem value

Answer 17

so would it be A then because it goes from just 13 to 18?

Answer 18

yeah it can't be C because C is missing 17

Answer 19

and you don't repeat stems or else there is no point of writing it in a compact way

Answer 20

lol this is homework? its long.

Answer 21

so would i be correct in saying its A. then?

Answer 22

yes it's A

Answer 23

ok thank you!

Answer 24

yes
