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? 4 ∣ 1  3  75 ∣ 0  2  6  6  96 ∣ 4  8

  1. Less than 52: 41, 43, 47 and 50.
  2. 52 itself is not less than 52, so it stays out.

The answer is 4.

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.

Questions about these worksheets

Yes. Every stem-and-leaf plot sheet is free to print and free to download as a PDF. There is no account to make, no email to hand over and no limit on how many you take.

Yes. The answer key prints on a second page, and you can choose whether it shows each question beside its answer or just the answers in a list.

Yes. Print straight from the page, or download the PDF and print that. The sheet is laid out for paper rather than squeezed off a screen, so there is room to work under each question, and the answer key comes out on its own page.

Statistics is usually taken around 11th or 12th grade, though schools vary and plenty of students meet it earlier or later. Pick the difficulty rather than the grade: the easy level suits a first lesson on it, the hard level suits review before a test.

Yes, as many as you like. The questions are built fresh each time rather than picked from a fixed set of files, so pressing Generate gives a new sheet. That is what you want for a second class, a retake, or two students sitting next to each other.

That is the closest comparison, and Kuta Software is good software. It is also paid software you install on a computer. These worksheets run in a browser tab for free, with no account and nothing to install. Like Kuta, the stem-and-leaf plot questions are generated when you ask for them rather than pulled from a fixed set of files, so two classes never get the same sheet, and the answer key comes with it.

Yes. There are three levels, and you can tick more than one for a sheet that mixes them, in which case the questions come out easiest first. The harder levels are not just larger numbers: they ask for something the easy ones do not.

You pick from 11: count the values above, below or between, the median, the mode, the range, the mean, make a stem-and-leaf plot from data, a 0 stem, or data to round first, back-to-back plots, the interquartile range, a key in hundreds and large numbers, rounded first. Tick as many as you want and set how many of each, or let it spread them evenly.

Skipping a stem with no leaves, or reading the leaves as whole values. A leaf of 5 on the stem 3 is 35, not 5, and an empty stem means no data landed there, not that the row does not exist.
