    I need some help with a problem in math:

    Can you help me make a Stem-and-Leaf plot with these numbers?

    7.3, 6.1, 8.9, 6.7, 8.2, 5.4, 9.3, 10.2, 5.9, 7.5, 8.3

    Thanks for the help if you can!

    5 l .4 .9
    6 l .1 .7
    7 l .7 .3
    8 l .2 .3 .9
    9 l .3
    10l .2

    I think thats right...i'v never tried a stem and leaf with decimal points so mine may not be accurate.

    Marcell is right except it should go from least to greatest, bottom to top.
    And you don't need the decimals.
    So it'd be like
    8|239


    At the bottom, put 8|2 = 8.2

    Thanks a million, both of you guys.

    Also, LilBueno, I've read that it could be done either way.

    Really? I only ever saw it in one way and my Stat class only accepts it that way.
    Maybe it just depends on your teacher/area.
