Let's solve the two problems step by step. We'll create
stem-and-leaf plots, then calculate the
mean, median, mode, and range for each data set.

Problem 1: Toys bought for children
Data:
19, 50, 30, 47, 84, 48, 37, 39, 51, 56, 59
#### Step 1: Create a Stem-and-Leaf Plot
We split each number into a
stem (tens digit) and a
leaf (ones digit).
List the numbers in order:
19, 30, 37, 39, 47, 48, 50, 51, 56, 59, 84
Now group by stems:
| Stem | Leaf |
|------|------|
| 1 | 9 |
| 3 | 0, 7, 9 |
| 4 | 7, 8 |
| 5 | 0, 1, 6, 9 |
| 8 | 4 |
> Note: The stem "2" has no values, so we skip it.

#### Step 2: Find the Mean
Sum all numbers and divide by count.
Sum = 19 + 30 + 37 + 39 + 47 + 48 + 50 + 51 + 56 + 59 + 84
= 19 + 30 = 49
+37 = 86
+39 = 125
+47 = 172
+48 = 220
+50 = 270
+51 = 321
+56 = 377
+59 = 436
+84 =
520
Count = 11
Mean = 520 ÷ 11 ≈
47.27
---
#### Step 3: Find the Median
Order is already sorted:
19, 30, 37, 39, 47, 48, 50, 51, 56, 59, 84
Middle value (11th number): The 6th number →
48
Median =
48
---
#### Step 4: Find the Mode
Look for most frequent value. All numbers appear only once →
No mode
Mode =
None
---
#### Step 5: Find the Range
Range = Max - Min = 84 - 19 =
65
---
✔ Problem 1 Summary:
-
Stem-and-Leaf Plot:
```
Stem | Leaf
1 | 9
3 | 0 7 9
4 | 7 8
5 | 0 1 6 9
8 | 4
```
-
Mean: 47.27
-
Median: 48
-
Mode: None
-
Range: 65

Problem 2: Cookies baked in December
Data:
18, 12, 24, 18, 30, 12, 20, 24, 25, 10, 24
#### Step 1: Order the data
10, 12, 12, 18, 18, 20, 24, 24, 24, 25, 30
#### Step 2: Create Stem-and-Leaf Plot
| Stem | Leaf |
|------|------|
| 1 | 0, 2, 2, 8, 8 |
| 2 | 0, 4, 4, 4, 5 |
| 3 | 0 |
---
#### Step 3: Find the Mean
Sum = 10 + 12 + 12 + 18 + 18 + 20 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 25 + 30
= 10 + 12 = 22
+12 = 34
+18 = 52
+18 = 70
+20 = 90
+24 = 114
+24 = 138
+24 = 162
+25 = 187
+30 =
217
Count = 11
Mean = 217 ÷ 11 ≈
19.73
---
#### Step 4: Find the Median
Ordered list:
10, 12, 12, 18, 18, 20, 24, 24, 24, 25, 30
Middle value (6th number) →
20
Median =
20
---
#### Step 5: Find the Mode
Most frequent value:
24 appears three times →
Mode = 24
---
#### Step 6: Find the Range
Max = 30, Min = 10
Range = 30 - 10 =
20
---
✔ Problem 2 Summary:

-
Median: 20
-
Mode: 24
-
Range: 20

✔ Final Answer to Fill In:
####
1) Toys bought for children
```
Stem | Leaf
1 | 9
3 | 0 7 9
