Stem and leaf plots convey the frequency of students' weights in a class according to kilograms. The numbers to the left (the "stems") represent the ten's place and the numbers to the right (the "leaves") represent the one's place. The map displays that 15 kilograms is the most frequent weight in this given class and the majority of the students' weight is under 20 kilograms.
