Stem and Leaf Plot Practice

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.

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

The 'stem' represents the leading digit(s) of the data values.

The 'leaf' represents the trailing digit(s) of the data values.

The range is found by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value in the data set.

The minimum value is the smallest number in the data set.

The maximum value is the largest number in the data set.

Outliers can be identified as data points that are significantly higher or lower than the rest of the data.

The purpose is to organize data in a way that makes it easy to see the shape of the distribution and to identify the individual data points.

To interpret a Stem and Leaf Plot, read the stems vertically and the leaves horizontally to understand the distribution of the data.
