What is a line plot?

A line plot uses a number line and X's to show
how often a value occurs in a data set.
To set up a line plot:
1. put all of the numbers in order from least to
  greatest.
2. Then draw a number line that includes these values.
3. Place an X above the number on the number line
   that goes with the number.

Here is the data: 25,0,10,10,15,25,20,15,15,0,10,15,15
This is an example of a line plot.

A key must be written for every stem and leaf plot!!!
A stem and leaf plot uses the digits of each number
in a data set to group the individual numbers, usually
in increasing or decreasing order.
Each LEAF on the plot represents the right-hand digit,
or ONES and the STEMS represent the left-hand digit,
or the TENS.
