Stem and leaf plots are devices for presenting quantitative data in a graphical format to visualize the shape of a distribution in a number set. Stem-and-leaf plots retain the original data to at least two significant digits, and put the data in order. Stem and leaf plots make it easy to find the mean, median, mode and range rather quickly due to all the data points being made available. The image shown above is an example of a stem and leaf plot where a large group of numbers are easily organized to show order in a disorganized set of number of boxes bought.
