 Stem-and-Leaf Plot

image
A plot where each data value is split into a "leaf" (usually the last digit) and a "stem" (the other digits). For example "32" would be split into "3" (stem) and "2" (leaf).

The "stem" values are listed down, and the "leaf" values go right (or left) from the stem values.

The "stem" is used to group the scores and each "leaf" indicates the individual scores within each group.
