AStem 4, leaf 32
BStem 43, leaf 2
CStem 432, leaf 0
DStem 2, leaf 43
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Stem 43, leaf 2
1. The leaf is the final significant digit and the stem is everything in front of it.
2. For 432 the final digit is 2, so that is the leaf.
3. Everything in front of it, 43, is the stem.
4. Splitting it as stem 4 and leaf 32 puts two digits in the leaf, which the plot never does.
