how do you make a stem-and-leaf plot for numbers like this:

24,000
28,000
26,000
32,000
30,000
41,000
27,000
22,000
26,000
33,000

To make a stem-and-leaf plot, you need to separate each number into two parts: the stem and the leaf. The stem represents the tens or hundreds place, while the leaf represents the units or ones place.

Here's how you can create a stem-and-leaf plot for the given numbers:

1. Identify the stems: Look at the tens or hundreds place of each number. The stems in this case are: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4.

2. Write down the stems in ascending order: The stems are: 2, 3, 4.

3. For each stem, write down the leaves: Write down the ones or units digit of each number next to its respective stem. For example, for the stem 2, you have leaves 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 2. Do the same for stems 3 and 4.

Here's the stem-and-leaf plot for the given numbers:

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

In this plot, the stems are listed on the left, and the leaves are listed on the right, forming the "branches" of the plot.
