Demystifying - Stem-and-leaf diagrams

Drills

Splitting each value into stem and leaf under a key, with the leaves ordered.

Author note — to cover

Construct ordered stem-and-leaf diagrams with a key, and read individual values, counts above a threshold, mode, median and range straight from the leaves. Discrete or continuous data with exact values kept. Two-sample versions are the sibling back-to-back page; the averages themselves are taught on Averages and spread. Both tiers. (S4)
