QuestionThe stem-and-leaf plot below shows the number of pages each student in a class read the previous evening. \begin{tabular}{l|l} 0 & 0058 \\ 1 & 235889 \\ 2 & 246777 \\ 3 & 356 \\ 4 & 246 \\ 5 & 7 \end{tabular}
Which statement is true about the data set? Its median is greater than its mode. It has a range of 52 pages. The value of the first quartile is 13 . The data is symmetric.

Studdy Solution
Evaluate the symmetry of the data:
The data is not symmetric because the distribution is skewed with more values clustered towards the lower end.
Conclusion:
- Its median is 25 25 , and its mode is 27 27 . Thus, the median is not greater than the mode. - The range is 57 57 , not 52 52 . - The value of the first quartile is 13 13 . - The data is not symmetric.
The true statement is: "The value of the first quartile is 13."
