00:01 So here's a stem plot of the percent of residents that are aged 65 and older in the 50 states.

00:07 So there should be 50 numbers on the right side of this line.

00:11 And it wasn't mentioned in the question itself that you submitted, but this was a question that wasn't a textbook for intros stats.

00:19 So i'm assuming it's the exact same stem plot, hopefully.

00:22 And basically what the actual question gave was just a bunch of different decimals.

00:26 It was basically the percent of, you know, people were 65 and older and he stayed.

00:43 And then the part after that, so like 7 .0 % the 0 would be on this side.

00:48 So if it was maybe, let's say pennsylvania had a percent maybe of like, you know, 10 .9, then basically that's where the 10 .9 came from.

01:00 And there's also maybe a state with 10 .1.

01:03 And maybe there's another state with 10 .0 percent.

01:06 And that's basically how this stem plot worked.
