Question

the stem and leaf plot below shows the difference between the winning and losing school in the basketball state championships. 0 | 1 4 4 5 6 9 1 | 0 0 1 2 3 2 | 1 2 3 | 3 key 1 | 4 = 14 points what is the probability that a winning team selected won by less than 10 points.

Explanation:

Step1: Count total data points

Count all the numbers in the stem - and - leaf plot. There are 6 + 5+2 + 1=14 data points.

Step2: Count data points less than 10

In the stem - and - leaf plot, the values in the 0 - stem represent numbers less than 10. There are 6 values in the 0 - stem.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability $P$ is the number of favorable outcomes (winning by less than 10 points) divided by the total number of outcomes. So $P=\frac{6}{14}=\frac{3}{7}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{7}$
