Question

lesson 13: charts and graphs
n and leaf plots
how does a stem and leaf plot separate individual data points into different columns?
a. according to the key
b. frequency
c. according to the data category
d. place value
check answer

Explanation:

A stem - and - leaf plot separates data points into columns based on place value. The stem represents the leading digit(s) (e.g., tens place, hundreds place) and the leaf represents the trailing digit (e.g., ones place). Option a is incorrect as the key explains the plot, not separate data into columns. Option b is incorrect as frequency is about how often a data value occurs, not about separating into columns. Option c is incorrect as stem - and - leaf plots are for numerical data, not data categories.

Answer:

d. Place value
