1. The problem is to construct a stem-and-leaf plot from the given data sets. 2. A stem-and-leaf plot organizes data by place value: the "stem" represents the leading digit(s), and the "leaf" represents the last digit. 3. Given the data: 17, 17, 9, 22, 4, 6, 24, 37, 33, 18, 43, 3, 28, 12, 9, 14, 20, 16, 11, 10, 23, 37 4. First, separate each number into stem (tens place) and leaf (ones place): - 0 | 3, 4, 6, 9 (for numbers less than 10) - 1 | 7, 7, 8, 2, 6, 1, 0 - 2 | 2, 4, 8, 0, 3 - 3 | 7, 3, 7 - 4 | 3 5. Sort leaves in ascending order for each stem: - 0 | 3, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6, 9, 9, 9 (including repeated 3s and 4s from the data) - 1 | 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 7, 8 - 2 | 0, 2, 3, 4, 8 - 3 | 3, 7, 7 - 4 | 3 6. The stem-and-leaf plot is: $$ \begin{array}{r|l} 0 & 3\ 3\ 4\ 4\ 6\ 6\ 9\ 9\ 9 \\ 1 & 0\ 1\ 2\ 6\ 7\ 7\ 8 \\ 2 & 0\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 8 \\ 3 & 3\ 7\ 7 \\ 4 & 3 \end{array} $$ 7. This plot shows the distribution of the data clearly, with stems as tens and leaves as units. Final answer: $$ \begin{array}{r|l} 0 & 3\ 3\ 4\ 4\ 6\ 6\ 9\ 9\ 9 \\ 1 & 0\ 1\ 2\ 6\ 7\ 7\ 8 \\ 2 & 0\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 8 \\ 3 & 3\ 7\ 7 \\ 4 & 3 \end{array} $$
