What is a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

A Stem and Leaf Plot is a method of displaying quantitative data in a graphical format, similar to a histogram, to retain the original data values while showing their distribution.

How do you read a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

To read a Stem and Leaf Plot, the 'stem' represents the leading digit(s) of the data values, while the 'leaf' represents the trailing digit. For example, a stem of '7' and a leaf of '3' represents the number 73.

Front

How can you determine the total number of data points in a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

Count the total number of leaves in the plot; each leaf represents one data point.

Front

What is the purpose of using a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

The purpose is to organize and display data while preserving the original values, making it easier to analyze the distribution.

Front

How do you find the mode in a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data set, which can be identified by looking for the leaf with the most entries.

Front

What is the median in a data set represented by a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

The median is the middle value when the data points are arranged in order. If there is an even number of data points, the median is the average of the two middle values.

Front

How do you identify outliers in a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

Outliers can be identified as data points that are significantly higher or lower than the rest of the data, often appearing as isolated leaves.

Front

What is the range of a data set?

Back

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set.
