Question 1171256: Make a stem and leaf plot of the following data:
45 62 40 25 35 46 59 78
88 60 25 20 71 46 45 75

The stem and leaf plot looks something like this
| Stem | Leaf | | 2 | 0 5 5 | | 3 | 5 | | 4 | 0 5 5 6 6 | | 5 | 9 | | 6 | 0 2 | | 7 | 1 5 8 | | 8 | 8 |
However, you won't have the grid lines that the table shows. The only line you'll have is a vertical one down the center. I recommend you refer to your textbook or other online sources to have a look at sample stem and leaf plots, so you can see what I mean.
Each stem represents the tens digit in this case while each leaf is a units digit.
For example, saying 7 | 5 means 75
Another example: 4 | 6 means 46
As the above shows, we can have multiple leaves per stem. Each leaf is represented as a single digit. A row like
4 | 05566
means we have the values 40, 45, 45, 46, 46
As you can see, repeated leaves are allowed on any given stem.
In this case, we don't have any blank stems, but keep them in mind if you have gaps in the data where a certain tens digit isn't used.
