Stemplots are used for small sets of data, they are quicker to make and present more detailed information than histograms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To make a stemplot:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Separate each observation into a stem, consisting of all but hte final , or rightmost digit, and a leaf, the final digit. Stems may have as many digits as needed, but each leaf contains only a single digit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Draw the stems in a vertical column,m with the smallest at top, and draw a vertical line at the right of the column.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Write each leaf in the row to the right of its stem, in increasing order out from the stem.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The following data set:
\n" ); document.write( "332 319 326 265 333 323 330 320 305 327 230 309 327 337 323 241 302 313 287 319\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "results in the following Stemplot:\r
