Question

multiple - choice question
what is the first step in stem and leaf plot?
order the data from least to greatest
order the data from greatest to least
count the number of data without ordering them

Explanation:

To create a stem - and - leaf plot, the first step is to organize the data. Organizing data in ascending order (least to greatest) helps in systematically constructing the plot. Ordering from greatest to least is not the standard first step for this plot, and counting data without ordering is not the initial step either.

Answer:

order the data from least to greatest
