Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stem-and-leaf plot is a visual representation used to display the distribution of quantitative data. The stems represent the first digit(s) of the data values and the leaves represent the remaining digits. This allows for easy identification of the frequency of values within certain ranges or intervals. Therefore, stem-and-leaf plots are not appropriate for qualitative data or two qualitative variables, as they do not involve numerical values. Additionally, while two quantitative variables can be displayed together using a scatterplot, a stem-and-leaf plot is specific to a single variable.
