Question

In data representation, the plot where numbers are split up and displayed is a -

• A. Box and whiskers plot
• B. Stem and leaf plot
• C. Histogram
• D. Double line graph

Answer 1

The correct option is B Stem and leaf plot

In a stem and leaf plot of double-digit numbers data set, the stem consists of the tens place digit, and the corresponding leaf column consists of the respective ones place digit of a number.

Example: Stem Leaf

$1$ $2$ $4$	$0$ $0,3$ $1,5$

This is the stem leaf plot for the data set $10,20,23,41,45.$

Here, the number $10$ is split up into tens place digit, i.e., $1$ and the units place digit, i.e., $0,$ and they are mentioned in the columns stem and leaf, respectively.


This is true for higher-order numbers also.
