14\t5
based on this stem and leaf, what is the smallest value in the dataset? (hint: pay attention to the given leaf unit).
add your answer
integer, decimal, or e notation allowed

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the smallest stem

The smallest stem is 10.

Step2: Identify the smallest leaf for the smallest stem

For stem 10, the leaves are 5, 6, 7. The smallest leaf is 5.

Step3: Apply the leaf unit

The leaf unit is 0.001. So we calculate the value as stem + (leaf leaf unit) = 10 + (5 0.001) = 10 + 0.005 = 10.005.

Answer:

10.005
