Stem-and-leaf plot worksheet for Statistics
Statistics uses a stem-and-leaf plot as a sideways histogram that keeps every value: the rows show the shape, gaps and clusters of the data, and the exact numbers are still there for the median, quartiles and range. Counting values past a cutoff is a matter of reading leaves.
Also taught in Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1, each at its own level and with its own examples.

How to do these
How many values are less than 52?
- Less than 52: 41, 43, 47 and 50.
- 52 itself is not less than 52, so it stays out.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Counting the cutoff value when the question says less than or greater than. 52 is not less than 52, so it stays out; only at least or at most include the cutoff.
Also called stem and leaf, stem and leaf plot, stem-and-leaf diagram or reading a stem and leaf plot.
