Question

Hey.

I am having problem with stem leaf plot diagram.

Heres the data I need to make steam leaf plot out of:

1.7
5.7
7.6
8.7
9.8
12.0
13.2
13.6
14.6
15.8
16.0
17.5
19.3
21.5
21.8
23.8
24.4
27.7
33
33.0
34.4
35.4

Can someone tell me how I would do that?

Answer 1

Organize each number into two parts: a stem and a leaf.

When you have decimals, use the whole numbers as the stems and the decimals as the leaves. I'll get you started:

stem | leaf
1 | 7
5 | 7
7 | 6
8 | 7

If, for example, you have a repeat of the "stem" but different decimals, you would show it like this:

stem | leaf
21 | 5, 8 -->for 21.5 and 21.8

I hope this helps.
