Answer 1

Solution

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Define the concept of stemplot

Stemplots are made up of a stem (usually the highest place value digit) and “leaves”, which are the digits or units. For example, a simple stemplot of 10,21 and 32 would have tens as the highest order digits and 0,1, and 2 as the leaves.

STEP 2: Get the answer

$\begin{gathered} We\text{ join the two together as seen below} \\ 0.35\Rightarrow6\text{ which becomes:} \\ 0.356 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is 0.356
