To construct a stem-and-leaf plot, you will need to organize the data by separating the digits into two parts: the stem and the leaf.
The stem represents the first digit(s) of the number, and the leaves represent the last digit(s) of the number.
Here is how you can construct a stem-and-leaf plot for the given data:
1. Start by listing the stems in ascending order. In this case, the stems would be: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
2. Place the leaves for each stem next to it. The leaves should be arranged in ascending order as well.
3. Write the stems in a vertical column on the left side of the plot.
4. Write the leaves horizontally next to their respective stems.
Using the given data, the stem-and-leaf plot would look like this:
2 | 5
3 | 4 8
4 | 9
5 | 1 2 8 8
6 | 1 1 4
In this plot, for example, the first row "2 | 5" means there is one value of 25 in the data set.
