Step 1: Understand the structure of a stemplot. A stemplot is a graphical representation of data where each data point is split into a 'stem' (the leading digit or digits) and a 'leaf' (the trailing digit). The stem is listed on the left side of the plot, and the leaves are listed on the right side.
Step 2: Identify the stem and leaves in the given row. In the row '2|0024555789', the stem is '2', and the leaves are '0, 0, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 8, 9'. Each leaf represents the trailing digit of a data point.
Step 3: Combine the stem with each leaf to form the complete data points. For example, the first leaf '0' combines with the stem '2' to form the data point '20'. Repeat this process for all leaves.
Step 4: List all the data points formed. The data points are: 20, 20, 22, 24, 25, 25, 25, 27, 28, 29.
Step 5: Verify the interpretation of the stemplot. Ensure that each leaf is correctly combined with the stem and that no data points are omitted or misrepresented.
