A Stem and Leaf Plot is designed to show the shape and distribution of data. It is similar to a histogram placed on its side but in addition to showing the frequency of the intervals with the stem, it gives the individual values within the interval. The leaf of each data value in a stem and leaf plot is determined by the digit that is furthest to the right. The digits to the left of this leaf are the stem. This simple stem and leaf plot shows distribution of weight and was generated by the statistical software program Minitab.
