Stem and Leaf Plot



- A stem and leaf plot is a device for presenting quantitative data in a graphical format, similar to a histogram, to assist in visualizing the shape of a distribution.

-Study the data for Infant Mortality Rates, the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births, of countries in Western Africa. Use the World Population Data Sheet in your Reference Section. You will notice that most of these values are in the interval 100 to 175. A stem-and-leaf plot for this data is shown below.
