In a stem and leaf plot, what does the leaf represent?

• The total count of data points.

• The digit or digits on the right of the stem.

• The categories of data.

• The highest value in the data set.

How do you find the median in a stem and leaf plot?

• Add the smallest and largest numbers and divide by two.

• Identify the middle number or average the two middle numbers.

• Count the number of leaves and divide by two.

• Sum all the leaves and divide by the number of stems.

What is the mode in a set of data?

What does a double stem and leaf plot represent?

• Data from two different sources or categories.

• Two different types of numerical data.

How do you find the range in a stem and leaf plot?

• Subtract the smallest number from the largest number in the data set.

• Subtract the smallest leaf from the largest leaf.

• Subtract the smallest leaf from the largest stem.

What is the first step in creating a stem and leaf plot?

• Determine the smallest and largest numbers.

• Arrange the leaves in ascending order.

• Identify the stems.

• Draw the plot outline.

How do you set up the stems for a stem and leaf plot?

• Randomly to create variety.

• Based on the range of data.

• Using only even numbers.

• Based on the tens place of the numbers.

What should you do after identifying the stems in a stem and leaf plot?

• Label the plot with a title.

• Determine the mode of the data.

• Calculate the mean of the data.
