Graphing Data Sets In Exercises 17–32, organize the data using the indicated type of graph. Describe any patterns.

Nursing Use a stem-and-leaf plot to display the data, which represent the number of hours 24 nurses work per week.

40 40 35 48 38 40 36 50 32 36 40 35

30 24 40 36 40 36 40 39 33 40 32 38

Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone, let's take a look at them together. A survey of 18 pharmacy technicians recorded the number of hours they worked last week, giving us the following sample data. Display the data using a stem and leaf plot and describe any patterns. So, in order to solve this question, we have to recall how to construct a stem and leaf plot, so that we can display the data of the number of hours that the 18 pharmacy technicians worked last week, and then we can describe any patterns that we. So the first step in constructing our stem and leaf is to organize the data in ascending order. So we have our data from the 18 pharmacy technicians who recorded the number of hours they worked last week, and then we can create the following STEM and leaf plot, where we know that the 2-STEM stands for the 20s, for example, in our data, it refers to 28. Then the 3 stem stands for the 30s, the stem for the 40s, and the 5 stem for the 50s. So we have all of our data organized in the stem and leaf. which we can then analyze, and looking at our stem and leaf plot, we can identify that most technicians worked between 30 and 39 hours, as the 3 stem is the stem that is most populated, as most of the values are clustered in the lower 30s, with most of the 30 values being below 5 and having a maximum of Therefore, we have the following stem and leaf plot and most pharmacy technicians worked between 30 and 39 hours, with most values being clustered in the lows. And looking at our answer choices, we can identify that answer choice B is the correct answer, as it contains the correct stem and leaf plot and the pattern that we observed, and all other answer choices are incorrect.
