Stem and Leaf Plots


     A stem and leaf plot is a plot that shows the shape of a distribution with each value separated into a base number, plotted in the stem, and the remaining portion, plotted in the leaf. The data found on the left hand side of the solid line is considered the stem and the numbers on the right are the leaves. This stem and leaf plot example shows the infant mortality rates in Western Africa. The rates range from 51 to 151.
