Side by Side Stem and Leaf Plots
TLDRThe video demonstrates how to create a side-by-side stem-and-leaf plot to visually compare two datasets, using the example of ages of males and females. It explains the structure of plotting the stem values in the middle column and the leaf values in the side columns, ordered from least to greatest. It provides a step-by-step walkthrough of populating the plot for the age data and then applies the concept to another example of comparing heights of boys and girls in a class. The video aims to teach the technique of making side-by-side stem-and-leaf plots to compare two datasets in a visualized format.
Takeaways
- π The script explains how to create a side-by-side stem and leaf plot showing the ages of males and females
- π A stem and leaf plot is made up of a stem column and leaf columns; the stem contains the first digit and leaves contain second digits
- π The leaves are written in ascending order, with older ages towards the bottom
- π« The example creates leaves showing ages of males on the right and females on the left
- βοΈ To read a side-by-side plot, you read from right to left instead of the usual left to right
- βοΈ The step-by-step example shows writing stems and leaves for the male and female ages
- π The second example creates a plot for boys' and girls' heights in inches
- π Again there is a stem column and leaf columns for boys and girls
- π’ Heights are written in ascending order within each leaf column
- π The video explains this is how to create side-by-side stem and leaf plots
Q & A
What type of plot are we creating in this video?
-A side-by-side stem-and-leaf plot showing the ages of males on one side and females on the other side.
What do the numbers in the stem column represent?
-The stem column contains the first digit of the ages, serving as the stems of the plot.
Why do we have to read the plot from right to left?
-Because the ages are split into two columns - males on the right and females on the left. So you read the stem on the right side first to match with the correct leaf.
What was the age range for the males?
-The males' ages ranged from 19 to 63.
What was the age range for the females?
-The females' ages ranged from 18 to 65.
How many males were aged in their 30s?
-There were 3 males aged 35 and 36, for a total of 3 males in their 30s.
How many data values are there total for both genders?
-There are 13 data values for the males and 12 data values for the females, for a total of 25 data values.
What do the numbers in the leaf columns represent?
-The leaf columns contain the second digit of each age data value.
What was the next example about?
-The next example showed the heights in inches of girls and boys in a typical class.
What was the range of heights for the girls?
-The girls' heights ranged from 39 inches to 60 inches.

π Creating a Side-by-Side Stem-and-Leaf Plot
This paragraph explains how to create a side-by-side stem-and-leaf plot showing the ages of males and females. It steps through writing the male ages in ascending order into the stem and leaf structure, then does the same for the female ages on the left side. It emphasizes reading from right to left across the structure.
π Practicing with Another Stem-and-Leaf Example
This paragraph provides more practice creating a side-by-side stem-and-leaf plot, this time showing the heights of girls and boys in a class. It steps through writing the girl heights in ascending order into the left leaf side, then the boy heights into the right leaf side. It notes the heights are measured in inches.

Highlights
We're making a side by side stem and leaf plot for ages of males and females
The stem column is in the middle, the leaf columns for males and females are on the left and right sides
For males, the stems are the first digits of ages and leaves are second digits
For females, stems are first digits and leaves are second digits written in descending order
Stem and leaf plots allow you to visualize the distribution and frequency of values
You read a side by side stem and leaf plot right to left, opposite of normal
Let's practice with heights of girls and boys in a class for another example
For girls, stems are the 10s digit, leaves are 1s digit written in ascending order
For boys, same format - stems are 10s digit, leaves are 1s digit in order
Stem and leaf plots organize data and show the shape and spread of distributions
They allow easy comparisons between different data sets
The vertical lines separate out stem values, helping visualize clusters
Leaves show the granular values, displaying frequency within stems
Side by side plots enable direct comparison of two data sets
An engaging and useful way to organize, visualize and compare data
