Question

how do u do a stem and leaf plot?
55,45,60,45,30,30,90,50,40,75,25,90,105,60

Answer 1

what's your data set

Answer 2

^ up there

Answer 3

ok thanks

Answer 4

First sort it to get

25, 30, 30, 40, 45, 45, 50, 55, 60, 60, 75, 90, 90, 105

Answer 5

now break each number into two pieces

piece on the right is the units digit

piece on the left is the remaining bit of the number

---------------------

So for instance 25 breaks into 2 | 5
30 breaks into 3 | 0
105 breaks into 10|5
etc etc

Do this for every value

----------------------

Doing all that gives you this stem and leaf plot


2 | 5
3 | 00
4 | 055
5 | 05
6 | 00
7 | 5
8 |
9 | 00
10 | 5

Key: 2 | 5 means 25


Note: notice how we have 8|, but no numbers after the |, this is to keep the table to have no holes and to show that there are numbers that start with 8

Answer 18

Answer 19

yes if 0 is part of the list, then you would add it in like that

Answer 20

for example, IF the data set was this

0, 25, 30, 30, 40, 45, 45, 50, 55, 60, 60, 75, 90, 90, 105

then it would be

0 | 0
1 |
2 | 5
3 | 00
4 | 055
5 | 05
6 | 00
7 | 5
8 |
9 | 00
10 | 5

Key: 5 | 0 means 50 and 0 | 0 means 00 or just 0
