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

In a stem - and - leaf plot, the stem represents the tens digit and the leaf represents the units digit. For actors, we look for the repeated values.

Step2: Identify the repeated values

Looking at the actor's data:

• For stem \(4\), the leaves are \(1,1,2,7\)
• For stem \(3\), the leaves are \(0,0,1,1,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,7,8\)
• For stem \(5\), the leaves are \(1,5,8,8\)
• For stem \(6\), the leaves are \(0,1,2\)

We check for the highest age (highest stem - leaf combination) that is repeated. The value \(44\) (stem \(4\), leaf \(4\)) appears twice.

Answer:

\(44\) years old
