Stem and Leaf Plot


Stem and leaf plot is a way to show quantitative data in a graphical format to help visualize the distribution among categories. To construct a stem plot, the observations must first be sorted in ascending order. As seen above this stem and leaf plot shows the ages of the people at a family reunion with the stems on the left and the leafs on the right.
