I need to make a stemplot from data with a wide range....

[xc630]

Hi I need to make a stemplot but the data has a wide range. They are listed below:

374, 403 416, 438, 446, 465, 549, 572, 626, 651, 671, 684, 696, 716, 748, 774, 784, 802, 808, 882, 909, 948, 970, 976, 997, 1050, 1062, 1100, 1156, 1203, 1253, 1255, 1269, 1325, 1420, 1425, 1933, 2433

I tired putting the single digits 3-24 on the left side but then that would leave me with 2 g or 3 digits to the right for each statistic. I do not bleive I can use commas to separate the numbers. Is there any way to do it?

Wouldn't that require I go from 37 to 243 which would be absurd?

Keep in mind that your range is equally absurd.

A stem-and-leaf plot for this data would seem a poor match. I don't think the problem is in your choice of "leaves", so much as in their choice of plot.
