Stem and leaf plot


Stem and leaf plots are a well organized way to display numerical data
The stem is located on the left side of the line. the stem is the number other than the ones column. For example 143 the stem would be 14 and the leaf would be 3. this stem and leaf plot could be test grades on a math test, or age of a bowling league. Unlike a box plot it is very hard to quickly determine range, mean, median, and other statistical data.
