Stem and Lead Plot

A stem and leaf plot is a statistical tool used to graphical display a set of data. It is somewhat confusing, but easy to understand once it is explained. For example in this graph we see that is represents the age of people at a family reunion. One takes the stem number and then accompanies it with the leaf, ie in this case looking at the first row there was a one year old, eight year old, and nine year old at the family reunion.
