1.144 Potassium from a supplement. Refer to Exercise 1.31 (page 24) where you used a stemplot to examine where you examined the potassium absorption of a group of 29 adults who ate a controlled diet that included 40 mEq of potassium from a supplement for five days. In Exercise 1.62 (page 47), you compared the stemplot, the histogram, and the boxplot as graphical summaries of this distribution.
