Example 1
This stem and leaf plot represents the predicted high temperatures for New York City in the next 10 days. 5|7 represents a predicted temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Use this plot to find the median of the data. |
Example 2
This plot shows the top 20 final times for the two-man bobsled teams at the 2010 Winter Olympics. 3:26|65 represents a time of 3 minutes 26.65 seconds. As you can see the difference between the gold medal winner and the bronze medal winner is less than 1 second (3:27.51 – 3:26.65 = 0.86 sec)! Use this plot to find the mean time and the range for the top twenty bobsled teams. |
Example 3
Using the plot from Example 2, how many two-man bobsled teams finished in less than 3 minutes and 31 seconds and how many took longer to finish? |
