Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stem-and-leaf display is a method of organizing data where the digits in each value are separated into the stem and the leaf. The stem is typically the largest place value digit(s) while the leaf is the smallest. This display can quickly reveal the shape of a distribution and the presence of any outliers, making it useful for exploratory data analysis. It does not reveal whether the relationship between two variables is linear or provide information about the mean, median, and mode. While the stem-and-leaf display does show the range of the data, it does not provide enough information to estimate the population mean.
