1 9 9 9
2 0 1 1 5 5 5 6 6 8 9
3 1 1 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 8 8 8 8
4 1 3 3
5
6 1
which of the following best explains what is wrong with the students work.
there is nothing wrong with the work.
the student should not be repeating values in the stem and leaf plot.
the student didnt have an equal space between each leaf and distorts the frequency for each stem. the stem of 2 appears longer although there are fewer values from the leaf behind it.
the stem of 5 should not be included.

Explanation:

In a stem - and - leaf plot, the stem represents the tens digit (in this case) and the leaf represents the units digit. Since there are no values in the 50s in the data set (19 - 61), the stem of 5 should not be included.

Answer:

The stem of 5 should not be included.
