Question

the stem - and - leaf plots compare the ages of 30 actors and actresses at the time they won an award
complete parts a through d below.
a. what is the age of the youngest actor to win the award?
31 years old
b. what is the age difference between the oldest and the youngest actress to win an award?
65 years
c. what is the oldest age shared by two actors to win an award?
□ years old

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the stem - and - leaf plot for actors

The stem - and - leaf plot for actors has stems (tens place) and leaves (units place). We look for the highest age value that has a frequency of at least 2 (since we want the age shared by two actors).

Step2: Identify the relevant data

Looking at the "Actors" column:

• For stem \(4\), leaves are \(8,8,7,7,6,5,4,3,3,2,2,1,0,0\).
• For stem \(5\), leaves are \(8,8,5,1\).
• For stem \(6\), leaves are \(2,1,0\).
• The value \(48\) (stem \(4\), leaf \(8\)) appears twice.

Answer:

\(48\)
