Stem-and-Leaf Plot

Stem-and-leaf plots are used in analyzing the distribution of quantitative data in graphical form. Generally, these graphs feature two columns; one containing the "stems" the other containing the "leaves". This tool is useful in allowing the reader to quickly visualize statistical values in an orderly, easy-to-read fashion.
