Question

the stem - and - leaf plot below shows the amount of tips received by the servers in a restaurant in one night
0 | 9
1 | 2 4 7
2 | 3 6 6 8
3 | 1 2 2 4 5
5 | 9
why is the plot misleading?
the plot shows that the data is skewed
there is not an equal number of data points for each stem
the plot shows duplicate data points
the stem does not clearly show the outlier

Explanation:

The value 59 is an outlier. In the stem - and - leaf plot, the jump from the 3 - stem values to the 5 - stem value isn't emphasized well. The plot makes it seem like a more continuous distribution than it is in reality, as the large gap between the typical values (in the 0 - 3 stems) and the outlier (59) isn't clearly presented.

Answer:

The stem does not clearly show the outlier
