Jaime wants to display her math test scores by using either a line plot or a stem and leaf plot. Her test scores are: 93, 95, 87, 90, 84, 81, 97, 98. Which best explains what type of graph will better display the data?

A stem-and-leaf plot groups numbers by their tens digit and lists the ones digits beside each stem. These scores naturally group into the 80s (81, 84, 87) and the 90s (90, 93, 95, 97, 98), making the data easy to organize and compare. So the best choice is a stem-and-leaf plot because the data can be grouped into sets of 10.
