Question

To decide on the number of service counters needed for stores to be built in the future, a supermarket chain wanted to obtain information on the length of time (in minutes) required to service customers. To find the
distribution of customer service times, a sample of 60 customers’ service times was recorded and are shown here:
3.6      1.9        2.1       .3        .8       .2       1.0      1.4      1.8       1.6
1.1      1.8          .3     1.1        .5     1.2         .6       1.1       .8       1.7
1.4       .2         1.3      3.1        .4      2.3      1.8       4.5      .9         .7
.6        2.8        2.5      1.1         .4     1.2        .4       1.3      .8        1.3
1.1      1.2         .8       1.0        .9        .7       3.1      1.7     1.1       2.2
1.6      1.9       5.2         .5       1.8       .3       1.1     .6          .7         .6
a. Construct a stem and leaf plot for the data.
b. What fraction of the service times are less than or equal to 1 minute?
c. What is the smallest of the 60 measurements?
