What is a Stem and Leaf Plot?
A stem and leaf plot is a statistical method for organizing numerical data in a visual format. It splits each number into two parts: the stem (typically the leftmost digit(s)) and the leaf (typically the rightmost digit). This representation helps in visualizing the distribution of data while preserving the original values, making it particularly useful for identifying patterns, clusters, and outliers in datasets.
How to Create a Stem and Leaf Plot
Step 1: Input your numerical data into the text area. You can separate numbers using commas or spaces.
Step 2: Click the “Generate Plot” button to create your stem and leaf plot.
Step 3: Review the generated plot where: – The left side shows the stems (tens digits) – The vertical line separates stems from leaves – The right side shows the leaves (ones digits)
Step 4: Analyze the results using the provided explanation, which includes: – The original data set – The total number of data points – The data range – The distribution pattern
Step 5: Interpret the plot to identify: – The shape of the distribution – Any clusters in the data – Potential outliers – The overall spread of values
Step 6: If needed, clear the calculator using the Clear button to start a new analysis with different data.
