Stem and leaf plot

The stem and leaf plot is used to represent statistical data in two columns. The numbers on the left represent the the stem and the numbers on the right are the leaves. This plot represents quantitative data in a graphical format. These quickly relate the range and distribution of the data to the reader. The stem is representative of the ones place while the leaf represents the rest of the number.
