The stem-and-leaf plot above shows house sale prices over the last week in Tacoma. What was the most expensive house sold? Give your answer in dollars

Answer 1

Answer:

The most expensive house that sold = $3,70,000

Explanation:

The stem represents a hundred thousand and the Leaf data point represents the ten thousand such that

For row 0, the data values are retrieved as follows,

0 | 667778999 => 60,000, 60,000, 70,000, 70,000, 70,000, 80,000, 90,000, 90,000, 90,000.

Since the stem and leaf plot shows the sorted data valued from smallest to largest, the highest values lie in the last row and with the last data point of the leaf.

For row 3, the stem and the last leaf data point is shown below,

3 | 7 => 3,70,000

Hence the most expensive house that sold = $3,70,000
