Answer

The required stem-and-leaf table for the given data is:

1Step-1. Apply the concept of step and leaf plot.

A Stem and Leaf Plot is a special table where each data value is split into a "stem" (the first digit or digits) and a "leaf" (usually the last digit).

2Step-2. Analyze the data.

Given data:

42, 50, 38, 59, 50, 44, 46, 62, 47, 35, 55, and 56.

 

Arrange the data in ascending order:

35,38,42,44,46,47,50,50,55,56,59,62

 

The greatest place value is tenth.

So, number 35 will have stem 3 and leaf 5.

Similarly, applies to all the numbers.

3Step-3. Draw the stem and leaf plot.
