Question

what is an advantage of using a stem-and-leaf plot instead of a histogram? what is a disadvantage what is an advantage of using a stem-and-leaf plot instead of a histogram? a. stem-and-leaf plots contain original data values where histograms do not. b. stem-and-leaf plots show data clusters where histograms do not. c. stem-and-leaf plots graph qualitative data where histograms do not. d. stem-and-leaf plots easily organize data of all sizes where histograms do not.

Explanation:

• Option A: Stem - and - leaf plots display the original data values (the stems and leaves represent parts of the data points), while histograms show the frequency distribution in intervals and do not retain the original data values.
• Option B: Both stem - and - leaf plots and histograms can show data clusters.
• Option C: Both stem - and - leaf plots and histograms are used for quantitative data, not qualitative data.
• Option D: Stem - and - leaf plots are not necessarily better at organizing data of all sizes than histograms.

Answer:

A. Stem - and - leaf plots contain original data values where histograms do not.
