Understand the structure of a stemplot: The number to the left of the vertical bar (|) is the 'stem,' and the numbers to the right are the 'leaves.' Each leaf represents the last digit of a data point, while the stem represents the leading digits.
Identify the stem for the given row: In this case, the stem is '2,' which means all data points in this row will start with '2.'
Combine the stem with each leaf: For each leaf (0, 0, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 8, 9), append it to the stem '2' to form the data points. For example, the first leaf '0' becomes '20,' the second leaf '0' also becomes '20,' and so on.
List all the data points: After combining the stem with each leaf, the data points are 20, 20, 22, 24, 25, 25, 25, 27, 28, 29.
Double-check for accuracy: Ensure that each leaf has been correctly combined with the stem and that no leaves have been omitted or misinterpreted.
