Here, we will learn how to create a stem and leaf plot and also learn how to split the stem and leaf plot. We will also learn what splitting of stem and leaf plots means and how it is done:


How to create stem and leaf plots?


To create a stem and leaf plot, we have to follow the following steps:


Step 1: Organize the data:  

 
First, we have to collect and list all the numerical values in the dataset. Then we have to check and ensure that \( 23, 45, 31, 37, 29, 42, 34, 47, 38, 51.\)


Step 2: List the data set in ascending order:
Next, we have to arrange the values in ascending order:
\(23, 29, 31, 34, 37, 38, 42, 45, 47, 51\)


Step 3: Identify the stems and leaves:
Next, we have to identify the stems and leaves:
Stems =\( 2, 3, 4, 5\)
Leaves = \(2 (3, 9), 3 (1, 4, 7, 8), 4(2, 5, 7), 5 (1)\)


Step 4: List the stems:

Step 5: Add the leaves:

Step 6: Include a legend:
Lastly, include a legend where it says that “2 | 3 9” reads as 23 and 29 for all the stems and leaves.
