Stem-and-Leaf Plots
A stem-and-leaf plot shows data arranged by place value. You can use a stem-and-leaf plot when you want to display data in an organized way that allows you to see each value.

Additional Example 2: Reading Stem-and-Leaf Plots
Find the least value, greatest value, mean, median, mode, and range of the data.
The least stem and least leaf give the least value, 40.

Leaves 4
The greatest stem and greatest leaf give the greatest value, 94. 5 6 7
0 4 4 8

The median is the middle value in the table, 63.
To find the mode, look for the number that occurs most often in a row of leaves. Then identify its stem. The mode is 63.
