Question

Suppose the number 178,651 is rounded to 179,000 and plotted using stem 17 and leaf 9. Write the stem and the leaf for each number below if the numbers are part of the same set of data.

Explain how to work this problem so that way I understand how to solve it.

Answer 1

12. 44,589
14. 99,278
16. 8443

Answer 2

179,000 in the stem and leaf plot described is 17|9.

(The hundred-thousand and ten-thousand digits are left of the line, and the thousand digit is right.)

Round the other 3 numbers to the nearest thousand and do the same thing.
44,589 → 45,000 → 4|5
99,278 → 99,000 → 9|9
8443 → 8,000 → 0|8

Answer 3

how is 8,000 = 0|8

Answer 4

because it doesn't have a ten-thousand digit

Answer 5

if it was 80,000 then it would be 8|0

Answer 6

right

Answer 7

okay gotcha so

12. would be stem 4 leaf 5
14. would be stem 9 leaf 9
16. would be stem 0 leaf 8

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

that helped me understand it in the best detail ever and I appreciate your help, cause most people never and will never explain things to me in a perfect way for me to understand things.

Answer 10

no problem, you're welcome. That was a neat little problem. And most people only want the answer

Answer 11

and most people assume I only want the answer based on their experience, but the truth is I need help ALL the time and to me it's okay to give me the direct answer as long as you explain how you came up with that answer
