Stem and Leaf Plots (Stats)

A Stem and Leaf Plot is a special table where each data value is split into a "stem" (the first digit or digits) and a "leaf" (usually the last digit).

Refer to khan academy: Stem and Leaf Plots
Khan lecture.

In the above plot:

• The stem column means the tens number of the whole number.
• The row column means the ones number of the whole number.

For example, the numbers of the second row represent: 12, 13, 15.

How the Stem and Leaf Plot represent numbers, it depends on the context. Stem can represents number of tens place, or ones place; Leaf can represents ones place or even decimal places.
