Stem and Leaf Plots and Histograms Learning


Introduction to Stem and Leaf Plots and Histograms Learning:

Stem and leaf plots and histograms are used to analyze the data. Stem and leaf plots and histograms are used for differnt types of data anlalysis. The Stem and leaf plot is used to analyze large number of data. In Stem and Leaf plots we split the given values into two parts Stem and Leaf. Histograms is a way of representing the data in a graphical form like a bar chart method. Histograms are widely used in statistics for representing frequency distribution. I like to share this Statistics Math with you all through my article.

We will learn the stem and leaf plot and histograms using examples.

Sample Problem for Stem and Leaf Plots and Histograms Learning:

Learning Stem and Leaf plots:

In stem and leaf plot, the Stem is the first value and the number and the leaves is the last digit. If we have other than one value we will use back to back Stem and Leaf method. We are indicating the group scores by Stem and the Leaf will indicate the entity scores. The leaf values will go to the right element of the Stem.

problem 1:

Place all the values in a Stem and Leaf plot of the table

00 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 50 60 70 80 90

Solution:

We know the first digit is stem and the last digit is leaf values are the table

Stem                                 leaf

0                                        1

1                                        0                5

2                                       0                5

3                                       0                5

4                                       0

5                                        0

6                                        0

7                                        0

8                                         0

9                                         0

From the above data’s we have 20 and 25 so the stem 2 has two leaves. The same for 3 and 4 both are having two leaves in the table. Using these stem and Leaf plots chart we can find the statistical data mean median and mode easily by using of above table value.

Learning Histograms:

problem 2:

Histogram is one of the bar chart methods. From this we call identify the frequency distribution of the data’s. In this the height of the bars will indicate the observed frequencies. We have to convert the histogram frequency distribution into probability distribution by dividing the tally of each group. In histogram the bars are not adjacent it means that there is no space between them. We can calculate the mean median and mode from the graph.
