Basic Question 2 of 18

For a physics course containing 11 students, the maximum point total for the quarter was 200. The point totals for the 11 students are given in the stem plot below.

Which of the following statements is (are) true about the stem plot?

I. Because there are 7 stems, the median must be contained in the 4th smallest stem and be between 140 and 150.
II. We can compute the mean number of points for the 11 students from the information in the stem plot.
III. Because of the small sample size, it would be impossible to split the stems in this stem plot.
