Question: 236
16. The stem-and-leaf plot shown represents the number of points scored by the winning team of a basketball tournament.
What is the median score in the tournament?
- A. 74
- B. 71
- C. 69
- D. 49
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The answer is A
A stem-and-leaf plot shows the tens digit to the left of the vertical line and the units digits to the right of the vertical line. Thus, the first number is 49, the next is 51, the next is 51 again, the next is 53, and so on. The median is the middle number of the set of numbers arranged in order. As the numbers here are in order, you can cross out numbers at either end, one at a time, until you arrive at 74.
