The data represents the heights of eruptions by a geyser. Use the heights to construct a stemplot. Identify the two values that are closest to the middle when the data are sorted in order from lowest to highest. Height of eruption
62 33 50 90
80 50 40 70
50 63 74 53
55 64 60 60
78 70 43 82

Required:
Identify the two values that are closest to the middle when the data are sorted in order from lowest to highest. The values closest to the middle areinches andinches.

The values closest to these middle elements are 60 and 63 inches

The dataset is given as:

62 33 50 90 80 50 40 70 50 63 74 53 55 64 60 60 78 70 43 82

Next, we sort the data elements in ascending order

33 40 43 50 50 50 53 55 60 60 62 63 64 70 70 74 78  80 82 90

The length of the dataset is 20.

So, the elements at the middle are the 10th and the 11 elements.

From the sorted dataset, these elements are: 60 and 62

Hence, the values closest to these middle elements are 60 and 63
