What is A Stem And Leaf Plot - Online Math Tutoring

What is A Stem And Leaf Plot - Online Math Tutoring This is a plot which is represented by splitting a number into stem and leaf where stem will be on left and leaf is on the right place, generally stem and leaf shows the place value. For an example we can split 93 as 9 as a stem and 3 as a leaf. Example: - The following data represent the costs (in dollars) of a sample of 20 postal mailing by a company. 2.75 5.47 4.65 3.32 2.09 1.83 1.93 2.78 3.34 3.20 3.21 4.95 5.42 4.84 4.10 3.45 5.11 1.97 2.84 4.15 Using dollars as a stem and cents as a leaf construct a stem and leaf plot of the data. Solution: - Stem Leaf 1 | 83 93 97 2 | 09 75 78 84 3 | 20 21 32 34 45 4 | 10 15 65 84 95 5 | 11 42 47 Another example could be: - The following data are monthly rents paid by a sample of 20 households selected from a small city. 880 1081 1075 1023 775 965 960 985 932 850 825 915 1191 1035 1151 1175 952 1140 750 1140 Solution: - Each value in the data set contains either three or four digits. We will take the first digit for three-digit numbers and first two digits of four-digit numbers as stem. Stem Leaf 7 | 75 50 8 | 80 25 50 9 | 32 52 15 60 85 65 10 | 23 81 35 75 11 | 91 51 40 75 40
