Q1Representation of DataFree sample

Some adults and some children each tried to estimate, without using a watch, the number of seconds that had elapsed in a fixed time-interval. Their estimates are shown below.

Adults: 55 58 67 74 63 61 63 71 56 53 54 78 73 64 62
Children: 86 95 89 72 61 84 77 92 81 54 43 68 62 67 83

(i)

Draw a back-to-back stem-and-leaf diagram to represent the data.
