A) Make a frequency table detailing the occurrence of each score difference.
B) Find the relative frequency of each score difference observed.
C) Make a stem-and-leaf plot of the data from this experiment.

I've made the frequency table if someone can just check it and then I don't know where to go from there?

a) Frequency table:
( value, frequency)
(1,2)
(2,5)
(4,5)
(5,1)
(6,1)
(8,6)
(9,5)
(11,2)
(12,4)
(13,3)
(14,3)
(16,1)
(17,2)
(18,1)
(20,2)
(22,1)
(23,1)
(28,1)
(29,1)
(30,1)
(45,1)
(49,1)

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
