Answer:
A stem and leaf plot is a special table where each data value is split into a "stem" (the first digit or digits) and a "leaf" (usually the last digit). The "stem" values are listed down, and the "leaf" values go right (or left) from the stem values.
Step-by-step explanation:
Example: Long Jump
Sam got his friends to do a long jump and got these results:
long jump
2.3, 2.5, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8 3.2, 3.6, 3.6, 4.5, 5.0
And here is the stem-and-leaf plot:
Stem Leaf
2 3 5 5 7 8
3 2 6 6
4 5
5 0
Stem "2" Leaf "3" means 2.3
Note:
Say what the stem and leaf mean (Stem "2" Leaf "3" means 2.3)
In this case each leaf is a decimal
It is OK to repeat a leaf value
5.0 has a leaf of "0"
