    1. Stem-and-Leaf Plot What is it? How can you make one? What does it tell you?

    2. What is a stem-and-leaf plot? It’s a type of graph. It displays every piece of data in a large set of data. It shows how many pieces of data fall into various intervals.

    3. How can you make a stem-and-leaf plot? First you need some data, such as the average temperature (in şF) in January in 22 major U.S. cities: 38, 5, 21, 16, 44, 49, 62, 13, 29, 52, 57, 68, 78, 9, 30, 39, 62, 15, 28, 50, 11, 56

    4. You will begin by making an “unordered” stem-and-leaf plot. An unordered stem-and-leaf plot is like a first draft. It will help you get organized.

    5. Now take a look at the data. Notice that that the smallest number is 5 and the largest number is 78. 38, 5, 21, 16, 44, 49, 62, 13, 29, 52, 57, 68, 78, 9, 30, 39, 62, 15, 28, 50, 11, 56

    6. Decide what should be the “stems” 38, 05, 21, 16, 44, 49, 62, 13, 29, 52, 57, 68, 78, 09, 30, 39, 62, 15, 28, 50, 11, 56 Let the stems be the tens digits from 0 to 7.

    7. List the stems List the stems vertically from smallest to largest. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

    8. List the stems List the stems vertically from smallest to largest. Draw a vertical line segment next to the stems. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

    9. Now you are ready to add the “leaves” The units digit of each number is its leaf. The lowest temperature, 5, has a stem of 0. The units digit is 5: 5 is the leaf. The highest temperature, 78, has a stem of 7. The units digit is 8: 8 is the leaf.

    10. List each leaf on the same line as its corresponding stem. 0 1 2 3 8 4 5 6 7

    11. List each leaf on the same line as its corresponding stem. 0 5 1 2 3 8 4 5 6 7

    12. List each leaf on the same line as its corresponding stem. 0 5 1 2 1 3 8 4 5 6 7

    13. List each leaf on the same line as its corresponding stem. 0 5 1 6 2 1 3 8 4 5 6 7

    14. List each leaf on the same line as its corresponding stem. 0 5 1 6 2 1 3 8 4 4 5 6 7

    15. List each leaf on the same line as its corresponding stem. 0 5 1 6 2 1 3 8 4 4 9 5 6 7

    16. List each leaf on the same line as its corresponding stem. 0 5 1 6 2 1 3 8 4 4 9 5 6 2 7

    17. You might want to cross out each number as you add each leaf to the stem-and-leaf plot. 38, 5, 21, 16, 44, 49, 62, 13, 29, 52, 57, 68, 78, 9, 30, 39, 62, 15, 28, 50, 11, 56

    18. Finish adding all the leaves to the plot. 0 5 9 1 6 3 5 1 2 1 9 8 3 8 0 9 4 4 9 5 2 7 0 6 6 2 8 2 7 8

    19. Count to be sure that you have included all the leaves. (There are 22 leaves.) 0 5 9 1 6 3 5 1 2 1 9 8 3 8 0 9 4 4 9 5 2 7 0 6 6 2 8 2 7 8

    20. This is your “unordered” plot. The leaves are not in numerical order. 0 5 9 1 6 3 5 1 2 1 9 8 3 8 0 9 4 4 9 5 2 7 0 6 6 2 8 2 7 8

    21. Now order the leaves from least to greatest. 0 5 9 1 6 3 5 1 2 1 9 8 3 8 0 9 4 4 9 5 2 7 0 6 6 2 8 2 7 8

    22. Now order the leaves from least to greatest. 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 9 8 3 8 0 9 4 4 9 5 2 7 0 6 6 2 8 2 7 8

    23. Now order the leaves from least to greatest. 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 8 0 9 4 4 9 5 2 7 0 6 6 2 8 2 7 8

    24. Now order the leaves from least to greatest. 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 2 7 0 6 6 2 8 2 7 8

    25. Now order the leaves from least to greatest. 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 2 7 0 6 6 2 8 2 7 8

    26. Now order the leaves from least to greatest. 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 8 2 7 8

    27. Now order the leaves from least to greatest. 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 2 8 7 8

    28. Now order the leaves from least to greatest. 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 2 8 7 8

    29. This is an “ordered” plot. 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 2 8 7 8

    30. Add a “key”

    31. Add a “key”

    32. Add a “key” Key: 7 8 means 78şF

    33. And finally add a title…

    34. And finally add a title… Average Temperature (şF) in January in 22 major U.S. Cities

    37. What does a stem-and-leaf plot tell you? Average Temperature (şF) in January in 22 major U.S. Cities 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 2 8 7 8 Key: 7 8 means 78şF

    40. and 78 Average Temperature (şF) in January in 22 major U.S. Cities 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 2 8 7 8 Key: 7 8 means 78şF

    41. A stem-and-leaf plot makes it easy to find one or more modes. Average Temperature (şF) in January in 22 major U.S. Cities 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 2 8 7 8 Key: 7 8 means 78şF

    42. Recall that a mode is a “measure of central tendency”. The mode is the value that occurs most often in a set of data. Sometimes there are two modes. Sometimes there is no mode.

    43. This stem-and-leaf plot has one mode. Can you find it? Average Temperature (şF) in January in 22 major U.S. Cities 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 2 8 7 8 Key: 7 8 means 78şF

    44. It’s 62 Average Temperature (şF) in January in 22 major U.S. Cities 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 2 8 7 8 Key: 7 8 means 78şF

    46. What do you look for? Look for the leaf that occurs the most times in one row.

    47. Look one more time. Average Temperature (şF) in January in 22 major U.S. Cities 0 5 9 1 1 3 5 6 2 1 8 9 3 0 8 9 4 4 9 5 0 2 6 7 6 2 2 8 7 8 Key: 7 8 means 78şF

    48. There’s one more thing about a stem-and-leaf plot… All of the data values are shown.

    50. Just one last thing! Sometimes you might… see or need to create or need to be able to read… a double stem-and-leaf plot.
