3. CONFIDENTIAL 3 A stem-and-leaf plot arranges data by dividing each data value into two parts. This allows you to see each data value. Frequency and Histograms Stem-and-leaf plots can be used to organize data, like the number of students in elective classes. The last digit of a value is called a leaf. The digits other than the last digit of each value are called a stem. 2 3 The key tells you how to read each value. Key: 2|3 means 23

14. CONFIDENTIAL 14 Cumulative frequency shows the frequency of all data values less than or equal to a given value. You could just count the number of values, but if the data set has many values, you might lose track. Recording the data in a cumulative frequency table can help you keep track of the data values as you count.
