Graphing Quantitative Data Sets
Stem-and-leaf plot
Each number is separated into a stem and a leaf.
Similar to a histogram.
Still contains original data values.
Provides an easy way to sort data.
Data: 21, 25, 25, 26, 27, 28,
30, 36, 36, 45

Example: Constructing a Stem-and-Leaf Plot
The data set lists the numbers of text messages sent in one day by 50 cell phone users. Display the data in a stem-and-leaf plot. Describe any patterns. (Adapted from Pew Research)

Solution: Constructing a Stem-and-Leaf Plot
The data entries go from a low of 16 to a high of 149.
Use the rightmost digit as the leaf.
For instance,
76 = 7 | 6 and
149 = 14 | 9
List the stems, 7 to 14, to the left of a vertical line.
For each data entry, list a leaf to the right of its stem.

Solution: Constructing a Stem-and-Leaf Plot
From the display, you can see that more than 50% of the cell phone users sent between 20 and 50 text messages.
