Creating and Interpreting a Stem-and-Leaf Plot in SPSS

This video demonstrates how to create and interpret a stem-and-leaf plot in SPSS. A stem-and-leaf plot is a diagram that displays the characteristics of the distribution of values for a specified variable.

Excellent video explaining the stem-and-leaf plots!

The interpretation was nice, I did not understand stem-and-leaf prior to viewing this. I like the comparison to the histogram and box plot as well.

It is nice that we can compare the positively and negatively skewed variables. Like Dr. Grande said it is very similar to a histogram but it is nice to have another diagram to represent data.

Your explanations are so clear! Thank you!

Tanks for the nice tutorial. A short question: can we change stem width in SPSS? I cannot find an answer to this online.

[@OscarFernholm]

I have same question

[@redmenot2582]

Thank you very much, really helpful

[@leanne5851]

what if the stem width is 1000, how would you interpret that?

This video was easy to follow but interpreting the reason for stem and leaf I am still confused with. I understand we are looking at the characteristics of values and variables but all in all the steps were helpful.

+April Brooks I am not sure when it would be necessary or beneficial to use a stem and leaf plot.
