13.2 - Stem-and-Leaf Plots STAT 414
A stem-and-leaf plot, on the other hand, summarizes the data and preserves the data at the same time. The basic idea behind a stem-and-leaf plot is to divide each data point into a stem and a leaf. We could divide our first data point, 111, for example, into a stem of 11 and a leaf of 1. We could divide 85 into a stem of 8 and a leaf of 5.
