Stem and Leaf Plots

Stem and leaf plots are a way to display quantitative data graphically, it is similar to a histogram in that you can see the distribution of the data. This plot shows the infant mortality rate for Africa, the number on the left represents say 1000 so 9=9,000 and the numbers on the left equal 100 so the 2=200, therefore the number represents 9,0200 deaths.
