What set of data is best represented by a stem and leaf plot?

Ages of people are sorted meaningfully by a stem and leaf plot. Any type of data set in which the first or last digit differs and can be sorted. By using this type of plot, one can readily see the magnitude of each group of data sorted.


What is the definition of stem leaf and plot?

A stem and leaf plot is one type of histogram. A simple bar chart histogram show the frequency of data in certain ranges. The leaf and stem plot has the advantage of identifying both the frequency of the data in intervals and the data values that are in the intervals. Two disadvantages to the plot is that the interval is determined by the uppermost digit (10's, 100's or 1000's) and the plot may not be easily understood by others. See related link.

What type of graph displays and organizes data in ascending order?

You're probably thinking of a stem-and leaf plot, or maybe a histogram.


What is stem and leaf mathematical diagram?

What is A Stem and Leaf Plot Diagram?Data can be shown in a variety of ways including graphs, charts and tables. A Stem and Leaf Plot is a type of graph that is similar to a histogram but shows more information. The Stem-and-Leaf Plot summarizes the shape of a set of data (the distribution) and provides extra detail regarding individual values. The data is arranged by place value. The digits in the largest place are referred to as the stem and the digits in the smallest place are referred to as the leaf (leaves). The leaves are displayed to the right of the stem. Stem and Leaf Plots are great organizers for large amounts of information.What Are They Used For?They are usually used when there are large amounts of numbers to analyze. Series of scores on sports teams, series of temperatures or rainfall over a period of time, series of classroom test scores are examples of when Stem and Leaf Plots could be used.


Which type of data cannot be used in a stem and leaf plot?

Data that is too narrow or too wide (small or large) as it cannot fit into a steam and leaf plot considering the purpose of a steam and leaf plot (how it breaks down the numbers that have 2 or more digits). A steam and leaf plot has 2 separate columns that separate the value of numbers into those 2 sections (although if there is less than 2digts or if there are too many, the process will fail).


What type of graph does a stem and leaf plot represent when turned vertically?

A crude bar graph.

What is a familiar and convenient way of keeping score of a set of obervations when constructing a frequency distribution table?

TallyYou can extend the idea of tally further to what Statisticians refer to as a Stem & Leaf Plot, which is a simple type of histogram. With a Stem & Leaf plot your tallies are placed in 'bins' according to their value, allowing you to observe the distribution of your data.Let's say you have a data set: 0, 7, 10, 13, 18, 19, 21, 29, 55, 57, 59, 59, 60The Stem & Leaf Plot would look like this:0|071|03892|193|4|5|57996|0i.e. '0' becomes '00' and '7' becomes '07' for the purposes of this Stem & Leaf Plot which needs two digits to illustrate its shape in this way.

At a glance, one can see that 4 students got a mark in the 90's on their test out of 100. Two students received the same mark of 92. No marks were received below 50. No mark of 100 was received. When you count the total amount of leaves, you know how many students took the test. The information is nicely organized when a Stem and Leaf Plot is used. Stem and Leaf Plots provide an 'at a glance' tool for specific information in large sets of data, otherwise one would have a long list of marks to sift through and analyze.More Than One Set of Data?To compare two sets of data, you can use a 'back to back' Stem and Leaf Plot. For instance, if you wanted to compare the scores of two sports teams, you would use the following Stem and Leaf Plot:ScoresLeafStemLeafTigersSharks0 3 7 932 22 843 5 51 3 9 754 6 8 8 9What does this Stem and Leaf Plot Show?The tens column is now in the middle and the ones column is to the right and left of the stem column. You can see that the sharks had more games with a higher score than the Tigers. The Sharks only had 2 games with a score in of 32. The Tigers had 4 games, a 30, a 33, a 37 and a 39. You can also see that the Sharks had the highest score of all - a 59, compared to the Tigers with a 57.Stem and Leaf Plots enable you to find medians, determine totals, and determine the modes.Try your own Stem and Leaf Plot with the following temperatures for June.

Enter the 5 in the tens colum and a 0 in the ones. What's the next lowest temperature? It's 57, enter a 7 in the ones, next is 59, enter a 9 in the ones.Now, find all of the temperatures that were in the 60's, 70's and 80's.Enter the rest of the temperatures sequentially until your Stem and Leaf Plot contains all of the data. It should look like the one of the left.
