What is it?
• Stem and leaf plots can be used to display quantitative data in an easy way and is also simple to analyze. It is easier because if you were to just write out the numbers it is much more difficult to analyze the data.
• A stem and leaf plot is much like a histogram, and if you turn it on its side it looks similar to a histogram.
• It is used to find the range, median, and mode easily

Why Use It?
• You would use this graph if the data that is collected is numerical.
• It is used when there are many numerical values and it is difficult to analyze the data if it is just written out.
• It can be used with both multiple and single sets of data.
