Stem and Leaf Plot

A Stem and Leaf Plot is very similar to a histogram but demonstrates more information by way of summarizing the distribution of a data set while simultaneously providing data on individual values. All the data in a stem and leaf plot is arranged by place value from mean to median to mode. The larger digits are the stem and the smaller units are the leaves. Stem and Leaf plots are typically used when there are large amounts of data to be analyzed.
