Let's solve each stem-and-leaf plot step by step.

What is a Stem-and-Leaf Plot?
A
stem-and-leaf plot is a way to display data where:
- The
stem represents the tens digit (or higher).
- The
leaf represents the units digit.
- Numbers are ordered from smallest to largest.
We will organize each dataset into stems and leaves, then list the leaves in ascending order for each stem.

1) 72, 82, 88, 71, 79, 67, 81, 84, 68
First, sort the numbers:
67, 68, 71, 72, 79, 81, 82, 84, 88
Now group by tens:
-
60s: 67, 68 → stem = 6 → leaves: 7, 8
-
70s: 71, 72, 79 → stem = 7 → leaves: 1, 2, 9
-
80s: 81, 82, 84, 88 → stem = 8 → leaves: 1, 2, 4, 8
```
Stem | Leaf
6 | 7 8
7 | 1 2 9
8 | 1 2 4 8
```

2) 44, 48, 45, 27, 41, 42, 36, 47, 49
Sort:
27, 36, 41, 42, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49
Group by tens:
-
20s: 27 → stem = 2 → leaf: 7
-
30s: 36 → stem = 3 → leaf: 6
-
40s: 41, 42, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49 → stem = 4 → leaves: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9
```
Stem | Leaf
2 | 7
3 | 6
4 | 1 2 4 5 7 8 9

3) 75, 69, 80, 71, 60, 72, 84, 64, 66
Sort:
60, 64, 66, 69, 71, 72, 75, 80, 84
Group:
-
60s: 60, 64, 66, 69 → stem = 6 → leaves: 0, 4, 6, 9
-
70s: 71, 72, 75 → stem = 7 → leaves: 1, 2, 5
-
80s: 80, 84 → stem = 8 → leaves: 0, 4
```
Stem | Leaf
6 | 0 4 6 9

Group:
-
30s: 35, 37, 38, 39 → stem = 3 → leaves: 5, 7, 8, 9
-
40s: 48 → stem = 4 → leaf: 8
-
50s: 52, 54, 55, 59 → stem = 5 → leaves: 2, 4, 5, 9
