To create a stem-and-leaf plot for the given data, follow these steps:
Step 1: Split the numbers into stems and leaves.
- The stem is the digit(s) on the left side, and the leaf is the digit on the right side.
- For example, 68 would have a stem of 6 and a leaf of 8.
Step 2: Order the stems from smallest to largest.
- In this case, the stems would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Step 3: Write the leaves next to their corresponding stems in increasing order.
- For each stem, write the leaves in increasing order next to it.
Stem | Leaves
-----|-------
1 | 8
2 | 2 8 8
3 | 2 4 8
4 | 0 4 5 6
5 | 0 5
6 | 1 5 8
7 | 0
8 |
Step 4: Create the stem-and-leaf plot.
- The stems are listed in a column from smallest to largest, with a vertical line separating the stems from the leaves.
- The leaves are displayed next to their corresponding stems.

2 | 2 8 8
3 | 2 4 8
4 | 0 4 5 6
5 | 0 5
6 | 1 5 8
7 | 0

The resulting stem-and-leaf plot for the given data is:
1 | 8
2 | 2 8 8
3 | 2 4 8
4 | 0 4 5 6
5 | 0 5
6 | 1 5 8
