and Patty O’Neill
Definition Stem-and-leaf plots are used to show
the rate at which certain values occur. This would be used if you are a teacher and you need to record test scores.

Necessary Data To have a stem and leaf plot, you need a
single set of data that is organized numerically. The data is organized numerically because it involves numbers and place values.

Key
How to Create a Stem and Leaf Plot
Create a problem Collect data pertaining to the problem Make a big “t” Put the greatest place value digit on
the left side of the “t” in numerical order
Put the least place value digit on the right side of the “t” in numerical order
Advantages
Shows specific data Organized, ordered data
Dylan’s brain, Brett’s brain, and Patrick’s brain
Disadvantages
Data can be overloaded on one line and looks awkward.
Not informative for a small set of data
