Create a stem-and-leaf display with stem values , leaf values , and at least leaf values between and .
STEP 1
Assumptions
1. We are discussing the creation of a stem-and-leaf display.
2. We need to determine the general rule for the number of stem values in such a display.
STEP 2
Understand the purpose of a stem-and-leaf display. It is a method for showing quantitative data, similar to a histogram, that allows us to see the distribution of the data and maintain the original data values.
STEP 3
Consider the readability and usefulness of the display. If there are too few stems, the display will not show enough detail. If there are too many stems, the display will be too spread out and may be difficult to analyze.
STEP 4
Recall the general guidelines for the number of classes (or stems) in a statistical display. These guidelines suggest that having between 5 and 20 classes (stems) is often a good balance between detail and readability.
STEP 5
Review the given multiple-choice options to determine which one aligns with the general guidelines for the number of classes (stems) in a statistical display.
STEP 6
Identify the correct choice based on the guidelines. The option "Between 5 and 20" aligns with the general rule for a good balance between detail and readability in a stem-and-leaf display.
The correct answer is "Between 5 and 20".
