What is a Stem and Leaf Plot?
A stem and leaf plot shows the spread and distribution of a data set:
- Stems represent the first digits of the data points
- Count represents the number of data points with that first digit
- Leaves represent the second digits in the data set (numbers 0-9)
- Median is the mid point in the data set and is shown next to the leaf
