Statistics: Stem-and-Leaf Plots Statistics: The branch of mathematics that deals with collecting, organizing, analyzing or interpreting data. Data: Numerical facts or information. Stem-and-Leaf Plots: A convenient method to display every piece of data by showing the digits of each number.
Statistics: Stem-and-Leaf Plots In a stem-and-leaf plot, the greatest common place value of the data is used to form stems. The numbers in the next greatest place value position are then used to form the leaves.

Data Displays A box-and-whisker plot shows how data is distributed by using the median, upper and lower quartiles, and the greatest and least values in the data set.
17, 18, 19, 21, 24,26, 27 The lower quartile (LQ) is the median of the lower half of the data. The LQ is 18. The upper quartile (UQ) is the median of the upper half of the data. The UQ is 26. ___ __ 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Find the median of this segment (LQ) Make a Box & Whisker Plot 76, 78, 82, 87, 88, 88, 89, 90, 91, 95 88 Find the median of this segment (LQ) Find the median of this segment. LQ = 82 UQ = 90
Now for the box and whisker Lower Quartile (LQ) Middle Quartile Least Value Upper Quartile Greatest Value 76, 78, 82, 87, 88, 88, 89, 90, 91, 95 70 75 65 80 85 90 95 100 105 Now for the box and whisker

Stem and Leaf Plot Stem and leaf plots are used as a quick way of seeing how many pieces of data fall in various ranges. The reader can quickly tell: - the range - the mode Stem and leaf plots have a title, a stem, and leaves A key is used to explain how to read the stem and leaves.
Box - and - Whisker Plot Displays large set of data. Gives general idea of how data clusters. Graph includes: - Title - Labeled intervals - Box between lower and upper quartiles - Whiskers from quartiles to extremes - Median, quartiles and whiskers labeled
