QuestionCount the zoos with more than 18 sloths from the given stem-and-leaf plot.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The stem-and-leaf plot represents the number of sloths at each major zoo in the country.
. The key "4 |1 =41 sloths" indicates that the number on the left of the vertical line (the stem) represents tens and the number on the right (the leaf) represents ones.
3. We are looking for the number of zoos that have more than18 sloths.
STEP 2
First, we need to understand how to read the stem-and-leaf plot. The stem represents the tens place of the number of sloths, and the leaf represents the ones place. For example, a stem of1 and a leaf of6 represents16 sloths.
STEP 3
We are looking for the number of zoos that have more than18 sloths. This means we are interested in the number of leaves in the stem-and-leaf plot that are associated with a stem of2 or higher.
STEP 4
Count the number of leaves associated with a stem of2. There are2 leaves, representing20 and24 sloths.
STEP 5
Count the number of leaves associated with a stem of3. There are8 leaves, representing30,31,31,32,34,37,39, and39 sloths.
STEP 6
Count the number of leaves associated with a stem of4. There are6 leaves, representing41,42,43,45, and47 sloths.
STEP 7
Add up the number of leaves associated with a stem of2 or higher. This is the number of zoos that have more than18 sloths.
STEP 8
Calculate the number of zoos that have more than18 sloths.
There are16 zoos that have more than18 sloths.
