Problem 2

Mrs. Campbell wanted students to decrease the amount of time they watched television. She wrote a series of

letters to parents describing activities their children could do rather than watch television.

Mrs. Campbell asked the students to report the number of hours they watched television, both during the week

before their parents received the letters and the week after. The information she gathered is displayed in the

stem-and-leaf plots below.

Each plot indicates the number of hours each of her 26 students watched television for the week.

1) Describe the shapes of the stem-and-leaf plots before and after the letters.
