  Okay and I have done C. I need help with B and D. C) Stem-and-leaf is just listing the numbers in sorted order, with the tens on one side of a dividing line, and the ones (last digits) on the other. You write all the individual last ones on the same line: 0 | 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 4 4 4 4 4 5 6 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 9 1 | 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 6 7 7 8 2 | 0 0 2 3 8 9 3 | 0 4 | 5 9
