Stem Plot is another name for a stem and leaf plot. It is a way of presenting data in which each data value is split up into two parts: the stem (usually all digits but the last) and the leaf (usually the last digit).

For example, to place the data value \(17\) in the pictured stem plot, we would use \(1\) as the stem and \(7\) as the leaf.

In a stem plot, the stem values are usually listed in a column, and the corresponding leaf values are usually placed in a row beside the stem.

The stem plot is useful for grouping the data values according to their stems. It allows you to quickly see which data stems correspond to the most values in the data set.
