The table below shows the percentage of households that own a microwave in different countries. Constuct a stem-and-leaf plot of the data.
Use the ‘|’ key (Shift + \ on most keyboards, just beside the backspace key) to create the line between the stems and the leaves. Be sure to put a couple spaces between each of the leaves.

To construct a stem-and-leaf plot of the data, follow these steps:
Step 1: Separate the data into stems and leaves.
- The "stems" are the tens digits of the percentage values.
- The "leaves" are the ones digits of the percentage values.
Step 2: Arrange the stems in ascending order.
Step 3: Write the leaves next to each corresponding stem.
Here's how the process looks for the given data:
Stem | Leaves
------- | -------
6 | 4
6 | 9
8 | 8
8 | 8
9 | 1 2
9 | 3 4 5
9 | 7 7 9
This stem-and-leaf plot shows the percentage of households that own a microwave oven in different countries. The first column represents the tens digit and the second column represents the ones digit. For example, in the stem "9", the leaves "1 2" indicate that 92% of households in Ireland own a microwave oven.
