To construct a stem-and-leaf plot, you need to separate the numbers into their stems (the tens place digit) and their leaves (the ones place digit).

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a stem-and-leaf plot for the given data:

1. Write down the stems: The stems will be the tens place digit of each number.
In this case, the stems are: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

2. Distribute the leaves: Place the ones place digit of each number next to their respective stems.
For example:
- For the stem 4, the leaves are 6.
- For the stem 5, the leaves are 9.
- For the stem 6, the leaves are 3, 3, 3, 4, 0, 0, 3, 9.
- For the stem 7, the leaves are 0, 1, 1.
- For the stem 8, the leaves are 1.

3. Arrange the leaves in ascending order: Sort the leaves below each stem in ascending order.
For example:
- For the stem 4, the leaves are 6.
- For the stem 5, the leaves are 9.
- For the stem 6, the leaves are 0, 0, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 9.
- For the stem 7, the leaves are 0, 1, 1.
- For the stem 8, the leaves are 1.

4. Create the stem and leaf plot: Write down the stems on the left side of the plot and place the leaves on the right side.
The resulting stem-and-leaf plot for the given data is:

4 | 6
5 | 9
6 | 0 0 3 3 3 3 4 9
7 | 0 1 1
8 | 1
