Stem-and-leaf Plots Stem-and-leaf Plots Many of us are generally not familiar with the term stem and leaf plot. So in this article we will try to understand precisely about the stem and leaf plot and see some of the definitions of the Stem and Leaf Plot. But before going to study anything about the stem and leaf plot it is needed and is very useful to have proper learning of the mean, the mode and the median so that we do not face any problem while understanding the stem and leaf plot. The stem and leaf plot is just a process which is used for displaying the frequency along with which particular classes of the values exist. We can ourselves generate a table of the frequency distribution or can make the histogram for those values but with the help of the stem and leaf plot, the numbers will themselves tell almost the same thing which we had generated. We have seen one definition of the stem and leaf plot in the last paragraph. Now let us see one another definition of the stem and leaf plot which is given as follows.

The stem and leaf plot is a process which is generally being utilized in the organization of the data which is statistical. The highest value in the common place in the data is utilized to make the stem whereas the second highest value in the common place in the data is utilized to make the leaves. Now we will understand a little bit about the stem and leaf plot diagram. We know that any data may be displayed in a number of styles which may be a graph, a chart or a table. A stem and leaf plot diagram is a kind of graph which is like a histogram but it displays extra information. The stem and leaf plot almost gives a summary of the shape of a group of data and gives more information related to the individual values. The distribution is summarized by the place of the value. The digits which are in the greatest place are called the stem whereas the digits which occur in the least place are called the leaf. The leaf in the stem and leaf plot are shown to the right side of the stem. Thus we can say that the stem and leaf plot is a very helpful in the organization of the great quantity of the data. Hence we can see that the stem and leaf plot diagram is such type of the diagram which helps in summarizing the information very fast and also at the same time retaining the points of the individual data. In a stem and leaf plot diagram the stem is made of the column of the distinct elements of the information after clearing the final digit. The last digits of every single column which are called the leaves are then put in a row which is next to the proper column and is numerically ordered. The stem and leaf plot is generally utilized where there are great quantities of the numbers present for analyzing for example the stem and leaf plot when there is a series of scores in a class test.

Stem and Leaf Plot Examples Example 1: 32, 12, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 12, 21, 10, 23, 32, 34. Let us solve the stem leaf plot Solution: Step 1: First take the larger integers and also the minimum integers in the given integers. The larger integer is 34 (were 2 is specified as in tenth place). The minimum digit is 10 (were 1 is specified as in tenth place).
