This delightful book presents a thoughtful sociological study of cowboys in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico around the year 1890. A sample of 32 cowboys gave the following years of longevity: 58 52 68 86 72 66 97 89 84 91 91 92 66 68 87 86 73 61 70 75 72 73 85 84 90 57 77 76 84 93 58 47 (a) Make a stem-and-leaf display for these data. (Use the tens digit as the stem and the ones digit as the leaf. Enter numbers from smallest to largest separated by spaces. Enter NONE for stems with no values.) Longevity of Cowboys
