Stem and Leaf Plot

Using the data set's numbers themselves to form a diagram, the stem and leaf plot (or simply, stemplot) is a histogram-style tabulation of data developed by John Tukey.


Stem and Leaf Plot AdvantagesThe stem and leaf plot essentially provides the same information as a histogram, with the following added benefits:

• The plot can be constructed quickly using pencil and paper.
• The values of each individual data point can be recovered from the plot.
• The data is arranged compactly since the stem is not repeated in multiple data points.

The stem and leaf plot offers information similar to that conveyed by a histogram, and easily can be constructed without a computer.
