Question

the national insurance crime bureau reported that these data represent the number of registered vehicles per car stolen for 35 selected cities in the united states. for example, in miami, one automobile is stolen for every 22 registered vehicles in the city. construct a stem and leaf plot for the data and analyze the distribution. (the data have been rounded to the nearest whole number.)
second data to excel
arrange the leaves in order from smallest to largest.
stem leaves
0
1
2
3
4
5

Explanation:

Step1: List all the data values

The data values are: \(9,10,12,12,12,14,14,14,16,18,19,21,22,25,27,28,28,28,31,31,33,36,37,37,41,41,51,52,53,54,58\)

Step2: Separate stems and leaves

For single - digit numbers (e.g., \(9\)), the stem is \(0\) and the leaf is \(9\). For two - digit numbers, the tens digit is the stem and the units digit is the leaf.

• Stem \(0\): Leaf \(9\)
• Stem \(1\): Leaves \(0,2,2,2,4,4,4,6,8,9\)
• Stem \(2\): Leaves \(1,2,5,7,8,8,8\)
• Stem \(3\): Leaves \(1,1,3,6,7,7\)
• Stem \(4\): Leaves \(1,1\)
• Stem \(5\): Leaves \(1,2,3,4,8\)

Answer:

• Stem \(0\): \(9\)
• Stem \(1\): \(0\ 2\ 2\ 2\ 4\ 4\ 4\ 6\ 8\ 9\)
• Stem \(2\): \(1\ 2\ 5\ 7\ 8\ 8\ 8\)
• Stem \(3\): \(1\ 1\ 3\ 6\ 7\ 7\)
• Stem \(4\): \(1\ 1\)
• Stem \(5\): \(1\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 8\)
