Definition
Stem & Leaf Plot   A frequency diagram which displays numerical data by using the first part of the number (the stem) to categorize the data and listing the remainder of the number(the leaf)with other data that has the same stem. Ex. 23,25,29 would be listed as 2 – 3,5,9  
🗑
Box & Whisker Plot   A diagram that shows how a set of data is distributed across a number line. The box shows where the middle 50% of the data is clustered and the whiskers show how close the maximum and minimum values are from this data.  
🗑
Irrational   Numbers that cannot be written as the ratio of two integers. The decimal form never ends and never repeats.  
🗑
Rational   Numbers that can be written as the ration of two inters. The decimal form either ends or has a repeating pattern.
