Question

the accompanying data set lists diastolic blood - pressure measurements (mm hg) of females. all of the values are even numbers. construct a stemplot. identify the two values that are closest to the median within the data are sorted in order from lowest to highest. (these values are often used to find the median.) 64 68 80 88 68 64 64 72 82 74 96 94 64 66 64 72 76 92 70 60 76 72 64

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the stems

The stems will be the tens - digit values of the data. The data values range from 60 - 96, so the stems will be 6, 7, 8, 9.

Step2: List the leaves

For stem 6: The leaves are 0, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 8, 8
For stem 7: The leaves are 0, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 6, 6
For stem 8: The leaves are 0, 2, 8
For stem 9: The leaves are 2, 4, 6

Step3: Construct the stemplot

6 | 0 4 4 4 4 4 6 8 8
7 | 0 2 2 2 2 4 6 6
8 | 0 2 8
9 | 2 4 6

Answer:

6 | 0 4 4 4 4 4 6 8 8
7 | 0 2 2 2 2 4 6 6
8 | 0 2 8
9 | 2 4 6
