Question

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the number of text messages Hal received each day for two weeks.

Answer 1

From the step and leaf plot, we can generate the actual number of text messages Hal received:

$10,\text{ 22, 24, 24, 24, 25, 30, 32, 32, 33, 34, 44, 46, 51}$

Mode of the data: Value with the highest frequency

$\text{Mode = 24}$

Median of the data: value that lies at the center of the distribution

$\begin{gathered} \text{Median = }\frac{30\text{ + 32}}{2} \\ =\text{ 31} \end{gathered}$

Difference between the median and the mode :

$\begin{gathered} =\text{ Median - Mode} \\ =\text{ 31 - 24} \\ =7 \end{gathered}$

Correct option : third option
