To create a default stem and leaf:
Note: The default display may be a split stem.
Title your data in the column heading C1
Enter your raw data in C1
Select Graph menu and highlight Stem-and-Leaf...
Select data in C1 (double click)
ignore options
OK

To create a SPLIT stem and leaf (leaves ending in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, versus 5, 6, 7, 8, 9):
Note: Directions are for leaf unit = 1.0
For example: 10, 12, 13, 14, 14, 18, 18, 19can be displayed by splitting the 1 stem as follows:
1 02344
1 889
Title your data in the column heading C1
Enter your raw data in C1
Select Graph menu and highlight Stem-and-Leaf...
Select data in C1 (double click)
Increment: enter 5 ( enter 0.5 for leaf unit = 0.1 // enter 50 for leaf unit = 10.0)
OK

OK

LAB: (1) Use the data at the top of this page to create a default stem and leaf with Minitab (note the default will split the stem for you). (2) Use the same data to create a SPLIT stem and leaf display with increments of 2. (3) Use the same data to create a stem and leaf display that avoids splitting the stem. Hint: you will have to decide the increment value.
