ORGANIZING DATA
Stem and Leaf Diagrams

STEP 1 List your data in ascending order

10 50 22 24 32 33 41 41 52 46 11 10 24 32 34 49 57 10 34

10 10 11 12 22 24 24 32 32 33 34 34 41 41 46 49 50 52 57

STEP 2 Your Stem and Your Leaf

Stem usually consists of the leading characteristic of each number

In this case: tens place (ex: 24 —> 2, or 57 —> 5)
And you put them in ascending order vertically
Leaf is the value(s) that directly follow the stem, these are listed in ascending order
horizontally for each leading value along the stem

The key is an important bit of information that we
must create to help others read and understand our 5 027
data. The key tells us what the stem means to the
leaf thus what number it forms. It is in the form of Key: 4 I 1 := 41
an example that is representative of the diagram

Key: 4 I 1 := 41
