On a stem-and-leaf plot, each data value is broken into a stem and a leaf, where the digit on the left is the stem and the digit on the right is the leaf.
We want to make a stem-and-leaf plot of the given data values.
14,22,9,13,30,8,25,29
The first step is to order the data from least to greatest.
8,9,13,14,22,25,29,30
Remember that on a stem-and-leaf plot, each data value is broken into a stem and a leaf, where the digit on the left is the stem and the digit on the right is the leaf. Because our data values range from 8 to 30, we will use tens digits for the stems and the ones digits for the leaves. For numbers with one digit, the stem will be 0.
0 8, 0 9, 1 3, 1 4, 2 2, 2 5,
2 9, 3 0
We will write the stems to the left of the vertical line and the leaves for each stem to the right of the vertical line. Remember that if there is a repeated number, it will appear on the plot the number of times it is repeated.
r|ccc
0 & 8 & 9
1 & 3 & 4
2 & 2 & 5 & 9
3 & 0
Key: 3| 0 means 30
This is the stem-leaf plot of the given data.
