Stem and Leaf Plots To accompany Hawkes lesson 2.2b (vi) Original content by D.R.S.
What is a Stem and Leaf Plot? • Each data value is viewed as: • A stem – the leading digit(s) • A leaf – the trailing digit(s) • Each stem is written once • Next to the stem, all the leaves associated with that stem
