Exploring Stem and Leaf Plots

The video tutorial explains how to create stem and leaf plots using different sets of numbers, including whole numbers, numbers beyond 100, and decimal numbers. It begins with an introduction to the concept and proceeds with step-by-step instructions for organizing numbers into a stem and leaf plot. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of creating a key for understanding the plot, especially when dealing with numbers beyond 100 and decimal numbers.

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

• Sorting the numbers in ascending order

• Creating a two-column table

• Writing down all the numbers

• Choosing the largest number

In a stem and leaf plot, where do you place the unit digits of the numbers?

• Outside the table

• In the stem column

• In a separate table

• In the leaf column

How are numbers in the range of 10 to 20 represented in a stem and leaf plot?

• Units in the stem, 10 in the leaf

• All digits in the leaf

• 10 in the stem, units in the leaf

• All digits in the stem

How are numbers grouped in a stem and leaf plot?

• Randomly

• By hundreds

• By tens

• Alphabetically

What does the leaf in a stem and leaf plot typically represent?

• The lowest digit of the number

• The highest digit of the number

• The last digit of the number

• The first digit of the number

What additional step is necessary when dealing with numbers beyond 100 in a stem and leaf plot?

• Ignore the hundreds digit

• Include the hundreds digit in the stem

• Only use the last two digits

• Use a three-column table

How do you represent the number 113 in a stem and leaf plot?

• 11 in the stem, 3 in the leaf

• 113 in the leaf only

• 113 in the stem only

• 1 in the stem, 13 in the leaf

What is the correct way to plot decimal numbers like 1.2 in a stem and leaf plot?

• 1.2 in the stem, nothing in the leaf

• 2 in the stem, 1 in the leaf

• 1 in the stem, 2 in the leaf

• 12 in the stem, no leaf

For decimal numbers, what does the key '1 5' represent in a stem and leaf plot?

• 0.15

• 5.1

• 1.5

• 15.0

Which range does not have any numbers in the example of decimal numbers?

• 6 to 7

• 3 to 4
