Stem and Leaf Plot


A stem and leaf plot is something that almost everyone was introduced to in elementary school.  A stem and leaf plot is a way to show quantitative data in a graphical format.  In a stem and leaf plot each data value is split into a "leaf" (usually the last digit) and a "stem" (the other digits).  The stem values are listed down, and the "leaf" values are listed next to them.  The above image shows a stem and leaf plot as well as how to place a number into a stem and leaf plot.
