Answer 1

In a stem-and-leaf plot, the rightmost digit of each data value is the **leaf**. The other digits to the left represent the **stem**. The stem typically consists of all but the last digit of the data values, while the leaf consists of the last digit. This format allows for a quick visualization of the distribution of the data while retaining the actual data values. For example, if the data values are 23, 24, 27, and 30, the stem-and-leaf plot would show "2 | 3 4 7" for the stem '2' (representing 20s) and "3 | 0" for the stem '3' (representing 30s).
