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? years old

Explanation:

Step1: Understand stem - and - leaf plot

In a stem - and - leaf plot, the stem represents the tens digit and the leaf represents the units digit. For actors, we look at the left - hand side (Actors column).

Step2: Find the youngest age

The youngest age is found in the row with the smallest stem. The smallest stem for actors is \(3\). Looking at the leaves in the actors' row with stem \(3\), the smallest leaf is \(1\). So the age is \(31\) (stem \(3\) and leaf \(1\) means \(3\times10 + 1=31\)).

Answer:

\(31\)
