Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 56CR
The stem-and-leaf display of Exercise 3.55 uses only four stems. Construct a stem-and-leaf display for these data using repeated stems 1H, 2L, 2H, … , 4L. For example, the first observation, 29, would have a stem of 2 and a leaf of 9. It would be entered into the display for the stem 2H, because it is a “high” 2—that is, it has a leaf that is on the high end (5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
3.55 The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station conducted a study of the calorie content of different types of beer. The calorie content (calories per 100 ml) for 26 brands of light beer are (from the web site brewery.org):
- a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display using stems 1, 2, 3, and 4.
- b. Write a sentence or two describing the calorie content of light beers.

The exercise involving data in this and subsequent sections were designed to be solved using Excel. Johnson Filtration, Inc. provides maintenance service for water-filtration systems. Suppose that in addition to information on the number of months since the machine was serviced and whether a mechanical or an electrical repair was necessary, the managers obtained a list showing which repairperson performed the service. The revised data follow.

- Researchers investigated two kinds of laugh tracks – one with posed laughter and one with spontaneous laughter. Recall that to create the posed laughter laugh track, the researchers asked people to laugh and recorded the results. The researchers also tested the same 40 jokes with a spontaneous laughing laugh track, which they created by having people watch funny videos and recording their laughter. The data can be found in the file LaughTypes in pictures.
