Question

In terms of displaying data how is a stem and leaf plot similar to a dot plot

Answer 1

for comparing two sets of data you can do 'back to back'stem-and-leaf plots on either side of a central stem. In both representations, it is easy to count through the data values to find the median. ... In the case of the dot plot, the choice of scale determines if the data is grouped or not

Answer 2

Explanation:

A dot plot is similar to a simple histogram and useful for small data sets. This is used for discrete data with smaller range.

A stem and leaf plot is also used for discrete data which fall within a small range.

A dot plot is graphical representation of frequencies while a stem and leaf plot gives in a precise manner the data set with stems separated and leaves written on right side of the stem.
