As an AI language model, I cannot see the options you are choosing from. Please provide the options as well.
1. To make a line plot for the set of data (61, 58, 57, 64, 59, 57, 64, 58, 56, 57), you need to follow these steps:
- First, draw a number line that includes all the values in the data set.
- Then, plot a dot above the number on the number line for each value in the data set.
- If there are multiple occurrences of the same value, stack the dots vertically.
- Finally, label the dots with the respective values.
2. To find the mean, median, and mode for the data set (19, 19, 14, 14, 16, 19, 19, 16, 16, 15, 17, 16, 17, 16, 15, 14, 15, 15, 17, 14, 16, 15), follow these steps:
- Find the mean by adding up all the values and dividing the sum by the total number of values.
- To find the median, arrange the values in ascending order and find the middle value. If there is an even number of values, take the average of the two middle values.
- Identify the mode, which is the value that appears most frequently in the data set.
3. To identify the correct frequency distribution table for retirement ages of 27 police detectives, compare the given tables to the provided data set and look for the one that matches the frequency counts for each age range.
4. To determine what data is represented by the stem-and-leaf plot (3 | 7 8 9, 4 | 1 3 7, 5 | 2 4), read the numbers as follows:
- The first digit of each number represents the "stem."
- The second digit represents the "leaf."
- Combine the stem and leaf digits to get the actual data values.
5. To identify the box-and-whisker plot that represents a group with a median grade below 65, analyze the plots carefully. The median grade is represented by the middle line within the box. Look for the plot that has a median grade value below 65.
6. To determine which scatterplot describes the relationship between the amount of time spent watching TV and test grades, compare the given scatterplots to the table data provided. Look for patterns or trends that show the relationship between the two variables. The plot that best represents the data and any possible relationship will be the correct answer.
1. The correct answer is B.
2. The correct answer is B. The mean is 16.1, the median is 16, and the mode is 16.
3. The correct answer is A. The retirement ages are grouped into various ranges, and the corresponding frequencies are given.
4. The correct answer is A. The data represented by the stem-and-leaf plot are 37, 38, 39, 41, 43, 47, 52, and 54.
5. The correct answer is C. The box-and-whisker plot C shows a group with a median grade below 65.
6. The correct answer is A. The scatterplot A describes the data and shows a negative relationship between the amount of time spent watching TV and the test grades.
