BEFORE

WHY?
You displayed data using bar

graphs and line graphs.
Youll display data using

stem-and-leaf plots.
So you can analyze Olympic ski

Speeds of Animals The table lists

the maximum running speeds of
various animals. How can the data be
displayed to show the distribution of
the speeds?

A stem-and-leaf plot is a data

display that helps you to see the way
data are distributed. You can use a
stem-and-leaf plot to place data in
increasing order.

Making a Stem-and-Leaf Plot
Display the speeds of the animals given above in a stem-and-leaf plot.

Solution
1 The numbers vary from 32 to 70, so let the stems be the tens digits
from 3 to 7. Let the leaves be the ones digits.
2 Write the stems first. Draw a vertical line segment next to the stems.
Then record each speed by writing its ones digit on the same line as
its corresponding tens digit.
3 Make an ordered stem-and-leaf plot.

Use a stem-and-leaf plot to order the data. Then make a conclusion

about the data.
Solution
Begin by making an unordered stem-and-leaf plot. Because the point
totals range from 84.1 to 91.4, the stems are the digits in the tens and
ones places. The leaves are the digits in the tenths place.
Then make an ordered stem-and-leaf plot.
Bicycle Stunt Competition

Each point total in Example 2
is the mean of the scores
given by three judges. If the
judges give scores of 89, 90,
and 88 to a rider, what is his
point total?

A manufacturer tested a new cat food on groups of cats.

Each cat was given two types of food. One of these was the new food, the other was a
different make.
An observer recorded whether each cat ate the new food first ( ) or the other make first
( ).
The results for the first group of 10 cats are as follows.
(a)
Use these ten results to calculate an estimate of the probability that a cat will eat the
new food first ( ).
Answer ....................................................
The experiment was carried out on three more groups of 10 cats. The results are as follows.
Second group of 10 cats
Third group of 10 cats
Fourth group of 10 cats
(b)
5 ate the new food first

Out of 100 cats, how many would you expect to eat the new food first?

For example, if you roll 1 on the red dice and 5 on the blue dice, you will get a score of 5.
If you roll the same number on both dice, then that will be your score.
