What is the highest value in a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

The highest value is found by looking at the largest stem and its corresponding leaf.

Front

What is the minimum value in a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

The minimum value is found by looking at the smallest stem and its corresponding leaf.

Front

How do you count the number of data points in a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

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

Front

What is the range of a data set represented in a Stem and Leaf Plot?

Back

The range is calculated by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value.
