Stem and Leaf Plot


A stem and leaf plot is used to sum up the shape of data. The stem and leaf plot that is shown above is a representation of class scores and where you placed in that class according to the other's score. They way you figure it out is, for example if you got 58/60, you could automatically tell that 3 people placed higher than you in that class. The stem and leaf plots are great ways for organzing large amounts of data in a simple format.
